Base, ribbon and layer 3 are all SUÂ’s Cherry Cobbler. The image panel is the Chickadee on Holly branch from SUÂ’s Beautiful Season. I stamped it in Early Espresso on a Very Vanilla base and colored it with SU Markers (Old Olive and Always Artichoke for leaves; Basic Gray, Going Gray and So Saffron for Chickadee and Cherry Cobbler for berries). When the image was dry I stamped over the entire panel with VersaMarkÂ’s Champagne Dazzle which is gorgeous IRL but unfortunately you cannot see it in my photograph. Before attaching my image to the card, I stamped a rectangle on the base in Cherry Cobbler with the leaf stamp from Vintage Vogue. I attached my ribbon next and then popped the image panel mounted on layer 3 with dimensionals. A satin rose was added to the bow.

This turned out beautiful! Cherry Cobbler is one of my most favorite SU colors anyway. Your coloring on the image is beautifully done. This is a lovely card.

I love the simplicity of this great sketch, and your card is gorgeous! Those vivid red colors look perfect with this little bird, and the bow is gorgeous! I recently won some of those tiny roses, but I keep forgetting to use them! It looks perfect sitting there on top of that bow!!
