Before I tell you about it, I just want to apoligize to all the Teapotters, it was one of those crazy weeks & I didn't get a chance to comment on all your wonderful creations! 'm sorry and I plan to do better this week!
The bird was made using the 2-step bird punch in bashful blue. Then I sponged him in bashful blue and marina mist, with so saffron on his belly.
I used a circle nestie to make a hole in the center. Then I stamped the leaves with a stamp from 'Pretty Amazing' in old olive. Next it was embossed with a wood grain EF and I sponged it lightly wih Tim Holtz antique linen. The little flowers were made with one of the itty bitty punches in regal rose, edges sponged and pearls in the centers.
For the top I used creamy caramel embossed with the forest branches EF. Then I rounded the corners and sponged on more mustard, and creamy caramel. I used fiskars scissors to get the jagged edge.
The bottom is also creamy caramel. It's embossed with the seeing spots EF and then I sponged on creamy caramel, close to cocoa, chocolate chip & white craft.
The Destination Station is a fellow Teapotter, can't wait to see who it is!

This is just as cute and sweet as can be. It has such depth to it. What a great choice to have the bird looking IN instead of out: that way we get to see more of it. Very nicely done.
