The stamp did not indicate what type of birds these are and there wasn't anything in the Flourishes gallery, so I decided they should be Robins, although you'll never see one in Iowa during the Winter season.
I've colored the image with Copics and touched it up with some Prisma pencils. I needed to lengthen the Marianne die to fit the image, so I covered up the cut with a Martha Stewart pine leaf punch. The center step card was made with my Silhouette Cameo and the side panels were embossed with a Fiskers folder.

Spectacular! I love the birds, and who says that no Robins stay in Iowa in the winter? Maybe these two just got lost! You are rapidly filling up my favorites gallery. This is gorgeous!

I did smile at your description and absolutely love your style! I call all birds robins too (grin) Where there is a will there is a way! Your card is gorgeous and I do like the creative way you were able to extend the die! I love the way you tinted the die cut too. Great job on coloring those robins.

Wow! Really love that wonderful frame and your sweet little birds. They look so contented sitting among all the comfy branches. They could be finches too as well as robins.

Gail...what a clever girl you are! The extension of the pine boughs is genius and the extension of the die cut disguised by same boughs is brilliant! Love the sponging on the SB die and as usual your coloring ROCKS!!! AND a step card! I bow to your abilities to create this beauty..pinned to my step card board and a fav for sure!
