The birdhouse is a stamp from the Sweet Tweets collection from Hot Off the Press. The decorations around the sentiment were some swirly stamps I had from somewhere.
I think the FlowerSoft goes with it beautifully to create some dimension. I just dotted glue here and there where the stamped embellishments seemed to call for it and then added the FlowerSoft. If you haven't yet tried this product, I recommend trying it. I love it with both this set of bird stamps & with my wildflower set of stamps. When you see it in person, the little bits of FlowerSoft really add a neat touch - and I DO mean "touch". If you're like most people, you can't help reaching out and "petting" the FlowerSoft to feel the texture!
I also like the trick I used here which I first tried as a part of a challenge I found on-line somewhere. It suggested stamping the image, then stamping it again on a separate paper, cutting an inchie from that second stamp & popping it up on pop dots for dimension. I really like doing that. I usually color in the inchie part of the stamp and mat it with a thin black border to help it stand out nicely.
The sentiment was printed on plain paper and then colored with chalk, making it darker around the edges.

You did a great job with the Flower Soft. I've used it a few times, but lately I've forgotten I even had it. I will have to get it out of the box again.
Thanks, Carol. It's easy to get fun things like this and then forget them. I am challenging myself to go through and actually USE the fun products I've purchased! :D
