I have a few favorite card themes, do you? Birds on branches are one of my favorites. Funny thing I don't end up creating many cards with my favorite themes so I was pretty excited to get this die!
I am celebrating Marge Yoon with this card. She is our Featured Stamper this week. Julie titled the FS post, "One Look and you'll Swoon" which is totally true. I am a HUGE fan! Congrats Marge! I hope you enjoy your week as Featured Stamper! I found THIS beautiful card. Our cards share leaves, the color green and a die cut sentiment in common.
I am also playing along with this week's CAS challenge: COLD (we have to use the letters but we don't have to create a winter card) It's COLD here so I naturally want to warm up by creating a spring card.
C - Curvy Framing
O - Ocean Green
L - Leaves
D - Die Cuts
This was so easy to put together! I chose a Nail Polish background I had created for a DTGD challenge and die cut my bird and branches. I added an IO framing die and a greeting from the Greeting Set. I love the fonts on these greetings. They make me think of icing lettering on a cake! I placed everything on a black background which makes the bird on branches really pop.

Wonderful! Love the look of the Nail Polish Marbling you used on the bird & branch diecuts. This is the first I’ve ever heard of the technique! I’m off to check out your blog so I can see what I’ve been missing. TFS!

Stunning!!! I have this beautiful die and would never have thought to do this with it. I almost passed out doing the nail polish technique, I'm so glad you survived unscathed Angie.
