Another fabulous inspiration site this week (IC483) - Thanks Audrie!. I was inspired by the rich, vibrant colors in this image and had been wanting to do a bird and branch card, so they seemed to fit well together: http://www.greatbigcanvas.com/view/p...E07RNOnVHFpmaS
Die cut my main panel, blended inks, stamped the text stamp (wiping off sections and stamping off first for a softer look- it shows up better IRL), sprayed with shimmer spritz. Die cut the bird, blended 2 inks, stamped w/ grunge stamp and blended edges for a vintage look. Embossed the wing for textures. Die cut the branch, leaves and berries, inked the leaves and berries with 2 colors to create shading, embossed the leaves for texture, spritzed the berries for shine. Assembled, popping up the panel and the bird. Added sentiment strip.
