What a lovely web site for our inspiration today - Needlepoint.com - I was inspired by this baby mockingbirds sample on the Gallery Tab of the site.
I just received these sweet Brushed Birds stamps from PTI and was so happy to try them out so quickly - (usually new stuff sits and sits in my craft room until I forget why I bought it!)
I used this weeks sketch for my card design.
I masked off a circle on the white panel and then stamped the background. I don't know if I have a branch die so I used the leafy stem die sideways! The sentiment is also new from the new Never Enough Birthday set also from PTI.
Thanks for hosting today Brenda and for sharing such a lovely site with us!

Those birds are just beautiful and I love the background you made for them. Your leafy stem die worked perfectly for a branch.

I just got this stamp set and your lovely card inspires me to use it, Julia. Love the colors you used....like gold finches in the summer. Wonderful card design.

I love this Julia, I had to grin over the stem/branch. I did not have no clue until I read the words. I was just thinking it had cool leaves the pearly blooms are a fun thing too. Love the colors of your birds.
