I made this as a sample for Susie's "Heart Song" HYCCT challenge which you can find HERE.
I was delighted to have a chance to use my new bird stamps - especially when the set included such a perfect sentiment.
The base layer is from my scrap box - I think I'd just misted it with some DIY mister to empty the bottle out!
I stamped the bird, masked it and then stamped a whole bunch of leaves in brown and red. Then I stamped the sentiment before embossing the card. I coloured all the embossed leaves in the top half, and the bird, with pencils. Added some spots of white acrylic paint, layered it onto a white base and edged it with black pen doodles. To take away the stark whiteness of the base I sponged the edges with ColorBox Moss Green.
You can find the Master Challenge thread with all the HYCCT challenges HERE, and the chat thread is HERE
We do hope you'll join in this fun month of challenges for our 5th annual Hope You Can Cling To card drive, with plenty of prizes for those who participate!

Sing, sing a song. Sabrina, this is beautiful. I love the image of the bird and the little faux stitches around the frame which remind me of the birds footprints. And the background leaves are perfect for this time of year. The embossing provides that extra bit of dimension that makes it pop right up! Lovely. Thank you so much for creating a card sample, and for playing in my HYCCT challenge, Heart Song. Let's sing today like we mean it!
