I made my background by swiping my ink on my cling wrap, misting with water, then swiped cardstock through it. After that, I stamped my wreath....one of my favorites. The birdhouse is from a Flourishes set, stamped and fussy cut. I hung it from the wreath with a thin piece of colored cardstock. I stamped and cut out a bird, colored with Copics. I stamped a different bird and cut out just his head to place in the birdhouse to look like a baby bird. The ferns are die cuts from the Toucan set mentioned above.
Stamped a sentiment and colored the heart with Copics. All finished.

What a lovely twig wreath. That birdhouse is lovely. I didn't even notice the baby bird inside, until after I read your description. I love the subtle background too.

I was so surprised to see the birdhouse hanger was cardstock, I am totally impressed with how tiny that part is, and I love that you built this scene from all the different bits and pieces too Brenda, those always seem to be my most favorite cards.
