My friend Christine (aka calex) came over recently and brought some of her mixed media products - we made the background for this using blue and green paint daubers, some scraps of script tissue paper (applied with gel medium), and a stencil with embossing paste. I ended up with a great sheet of mixed media background. I've already made and posted one card using a piece of the background - this is the second one.
For this one, I toned down the brightness a bit with gesso and added a bit of sparkle with a Pear Tart spray.
I stamped the grass with Pear Tart and the plant with Library Green. The bird is die cut out of kraft cs and darkened up with brown ink. I die cut a stitched circle frame and added the sentiment.
It's also for the Happy Little Stampers May challenge to use die cuts or punches:
