Sympathy card

I decided I needed to use some of my scraps and odds and ends of paper so I picked a few colors to work with and got all the papers I thought might work together out of the scrap file. There are several challenges that had color schemes this week so I am using those colors. I don't know who the manufacturers are for these papers since they are from my scraps. The card base is a dark brown cardstock. The birdhouse was cut with the Cricut from the Stretch You Imagination cartridge. It's a pale green with a shimmery finish. The roof, base and peg are a pale teal. I inked with a Walnut colored ink. The bird is cut from the Cricut cartridge, 50 States. I inked the edges of that, too. I used a Martha Stewart edge punch for the bottom strip of paper. The sentiment is from a Clearly Wordsworth clear set. I added some faux stitching to finish the front. On the inside I cut a piece of teal paper for the top and a piece of ivory patterened paper for the bottom and stamped both with stamps from the same Clearly Wordsworth set that I used on the outside. On the ivory I stamped twice, once in walnut and once in black. On the top I stamped in black and went over the stamping very lightly with a brown pencil. Used a bit of faux stitching on the bottom. I love the sentiment on the inside top. It says-"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul And sings the tunes without the words And never stops-at all"-I've had this stamp for several years and had never used it!
