I brushed Soft Sky onto the inside of the embossing folder and ran the panel through. It made the background a bit blue. I ran a separate panel through with no color on. it, and used the attached two dies to cut out two embossed magnolias. I VERY lightly brushed on some Seedless Preserves in the centers
I cut out the Magnolia branch out of Old Olive and brushed on some Walnut Stain Oxide ink. I glued the branch and magnolias to the embossed panel so that parts of the leaves were above and below the blossoms.
The bird parts were colored first with Distress Oxides, brushed on, lightest colors first. Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Tea Dye. I popped up the assembled bird.
