For todays challenges - CAS/Glittery Sentiment and TLC/Painted Stamping. These challenges were both something new for me - that's always fun! This bird consists of 9 separate stamps. I stamped the bird outline and branch in brown, then stamped each different body and berry piece with different colors - for a total of 14 different stampings. This would have been impossible (for me) without the Misti. Stamped the sentiment in black. Die cut the focal and mat; attached to white base. Stamped the sentiment; covered with Stickles. I wish I had Versafine ink pads in multiple colors because these stamps have a lot of fine detail that's lost with the painting method - it would give it an entirely different look. May need to go shopping..... again!

A splendid piece of work, the bird came together very well, it looks like 1 piece, the birds are nesting now so it's a good time to celebrate birds, your card is lovely.

14 different stampings is amazing! I was bragging on myself the other day because I used 6 different stamps on one card. I've been humbled. :-) Your bird turned out great and still kept a lot of detail. I love the color combo too.
