This is for the DD central theme this month---using 'lost and found' items.
I was working out in the yard with my youngest DD today, and she helped me pick up the branches and twigs. I saved some of the tiniest ones that she brought me (boy when she gets motivated, she gets motivated!!) and used my pruning shears to cut them the right length to frame my cardinal. =)
For the rest of the card:
--I stamped canvas in burg on burg and the berries in chocolate
--I stamped weathered on the river rock in the same color and stamped the pine branch in sahara sand
--the olive is velvet paper and is embossed with my Cuttlebug (I just LOVE how rich that looks)
--the cardinal: stamped in black craft, embossed in hologram highlights EP, watercolored, and dusted in close to cocoa---I LIGHTLY used clear stickles on the image
--the stitching is hand-sewn
--the tag is done free-hand
TFL!

Remarkable card. Very cool look with the twigs for the frame. How clever of you. It is perfect for this cardinal. I love all your backgrounds. Amazing job. TSMFS
