For today's Ways to use it challenge (WT374 - For the birds!).
Used the same DP as yesterday's card - hadn't cleared off my work table yet - so why not use what's handy??
Stamped the bird from the Beautiful Season stamp set and colored with Stampin' Write markers and a blender pen. Mounted the bird on two leaves which I moulded with my mat pack and stylus to add depth. Add an embossed background for the bird and then mounted everything onto the plaid background.
Not sure that the bird stands out enough ... it kinda' gets lost in the leaves and busy background paper - but posting it anyways.

These are fabulous colors and that textured background behind the bird sets the whole thing off! Love what you did with the leaves. This looks so elegant!

There you go using that delicious plaid dsp again! I just love that paper, and it goes so well with your bird. I love how you mounted him on the embossed matt too. Very nice indeed.

Loll, by coincidence (or serendipity), I was commenting on this card on your blog at pretty much exactly the time you were commenting on my two cards using the same stamp!! Love your card! And thanks for the kind comments on my two!
