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.

FANTASTIC!!! I love how it all just grabbed me in from the gallery, I HAD to take a look and I was not disappointed. What rich colors you've used--love those, and especially how well they all blended in the background, and then how the bird and leaves just pop off the background but yet belong too. Ingenious! Love the bits of texture too, like on the leaves. This is WONDERFUL, it just HAD to go into my favorites. I'd love to try and CAS this sometime, I've never done that but I'd like to...
Your cards are always an inspiration to me--thank you!
