I emailed several links to myself from the Rosenberry Rooms site, but this is the card I started out to make, inspired by the Cherry Blossom Birdies.
Base is 5 3/4" square. I stamped a Cover-a-Card music score over it with Versafine Smoky Grey, and then sponged clouds over that with Stormy Sky. Then I added 1/4" double-sided tape all round the edges and added green and pink glitter.
For the main panel, I cut my square from an old cereal box and gave it a couple of coats of gesso. Then I added blue acrylic paint, and a little green behind where the branches would be. I dusted some green Perfect Pearls in too while it was still wet, and a sprinkle of silver glitter across the sky area.
Birds are Maya Road chipboard, painted with gesso and then inked with various ColorBox pigment inks. I added some stamping for texture (RubberNecker Cheesecloth) and used Liquid Pearls for the beaks and eyes. Flowers are circles punched from scraps and shaped with a stylus, leaves are a Sizzix die and a scraps left from another card this week. I added definition to the edges of the panel with a blue marker and popped it up on foam. Not my normal style, but I had a lot of fun making this. Might have been better if I'd kneaded the bread before getting all painty, though , took me a while to get my hands clean.

This is lovely, Sabrina. I certainly like that musical background behind your pretty birdies. I love the way you created those blossoms on your tree branches.
