Birdhouse Birthday

I was playing around with some textures and the Country Woods designer series paper on this birthday card. The embossed background is made with a retired folder.

There are five different patterns of designer series paper used all from the Country Woods collection and I made all the die cuts except the sentiment layer with the Country Birdhouse dies. 

The bird is colored in with Stampin' Blends.
