Today we went to Olive & Cocoa to inspire us. I chose these Woodland Birds as one of my inspirations: http://www.oliveandcocoa.com/product...irds/clearance
I have another card in the works, but not the time to finish it as I am off w/ friends to shop.
I used the Sizzix woodgrain ef & the bird punch. I used the ball tip of an embossing tool to score on the birds. This was fun to do, using multiple punchings.
Thanks for a fun site Judy.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.
PT - many!!

I hope you enjoyed your shopping!
I love the way you hand-embossed the birds - it really is an inspired take on the inspiration because it makes them look carved. I've sometimes embossed them in folders, but I never thought of using the stylus to add feathering.

Linda is right, you have definitely nailed your inspiration... Love the depth you have added to your birds by using your stylus, gives more detail and more realistic appearance... Very pretty.....

I like how you added all the birds on this wonderful textured background. You do so well with these inspiration site cards - I struggle with them! Hugz!
