A big congrats to Geni, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a beautiful gallery & leaves the sweetest comments! I chose THIS to case. I kept the bird & blossoms but used different images, different papers & a different layout.
I put the goldfinch in my Misti, stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I used a grand label 4 to die cut mainly just the left side & the black mat behind him. For the right side, I repeated the stamp, color, over stamp (w/ a little masking thrown in) using the Small Dogwood then fussy cut down the left side of them to attach on top.
After I stamped the quote (minus the Hope at the beginning), I stamped part of the goldfinch image on a separate piece, lined up where I wanted to place the Hope die , cut it, backed it w/ 2 more cut outs to elevate it, then placed it on top in the corresponding place of the image. The quote was stamped again on another piece & I used the smaller of the flowers from the hydrangea punch to punch out the areas I wanted & also attached them in place. I added just a little stickles to the flower centers.
Congrats again, Geni! Closeups, Copic colors & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I do not know how you were able to stamp those flowers over the word hope - but you did it perfectly-- I also love the whole bird theme - very pretty!!
