I wanted to try out a lovely bird die I received from Lorraine - so I used the colours in Feathered Hues from yesterday's IC454 Design Seeds challenge. I really liked the dead bare look of the branches in the inspiration photo, so I just sponged the foliage in the die with Old Paper, and coloured the birds as closely as I could with pencils. The Marrakech paper seemed to pick up most of the colours from the palette - I trimmed the bottom edge along the design, and finished it off with Enamel Accents. I embossed the top grey panel just to give it a bit of a lift.
Tried some punched music notes, but my music punch was way out of scale compared to the birds - and since I'd already embossed it at that stage, it was too late to stamp something more delicate looking.
Thanks, Lorraine .

How pretty, Sabrina! Lvoe the embossed bg and your little birds are so prettily colored. Had a misfortune w/ those enamel accents...the post ofc mishandled my pkg and kept it about 3 weeks before delivering it. Apparently it sat in one of their hot trucks for most of the time and the enamel accents more or less melted all over the place :(
