I made my background by swiping my ink on my cling wrap, misting with water, then swiped cardstock through it. After that, I stamped my wreath....one of my favorites. The birdhouse is from a Flourishes set, stamped and fussy cut. I hung it from the wreath with a thin piece of colored cardstock. I stamped and cut out a bird, colored with Copics. I stamped a different bird and cut out just his head to place in the birdhouse to look like a baby bird. The ferns are die cuts from the Toucan set mentioned above.
Stamped a sentiment and colored the heart with Copics. All finished.

Such a FABULOUSLY detailed and cheerful card, Brenda! I love the color change to yellow from your inspiration. The background is soft and lovely and makes the wreath and its darling bird elements pop. Love all your details...to my FAVs for sure!

Sweet Brenda, this is GORGEOUS! I love this wreath (and found it myself when you used it sometime last year -- I think). You've created a truly sweet and stunning card with those bitty birds and the birdhouse with the wee baby bird. Aw! What a perfect card for the inspiration piece you chose! You are amazing, precious friend! Love you lots! Hugs! xoxo
