Bird on a Branch Sketch

Sorry I'm posting so late today.  I want to share a swap that I'm sending to a fellow stamper.  We had to follow a sketch.  I followed it completely this time, lol!

 

My colors are from the To the Nines DSP (I'm so glad this one is staying!).  My card measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4".  My large DSP circle is 3" and cut with the Circle Scissors Plus.  I used the oval Coluzzle to make my Sahara Sand oval.  Then to make the scallop frame, I followed my tutorial found here.  The only difference is that I cut off the excess.

I stamped the branch from Bird on a Branch to make it look like a tree.  Then using the Stamp-a-ma-Jig, I stamped the flowers.  I stamped it again on Sage Shadow and cut 3 of the larger ones out.  I also colored a few with the Sage Shadow Stampin' Write Marker.  I stamped the bird with Sage Shadow on Sage Shadow Card Stock.  I cut him out and attached with a Stampin' Dimensional.  I covered him with Crystal Effects.  It looks like he has an eye in the photo, but that's just a small glare.

My "thank you" is from Fresh Cuts, stamped in Versamark and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.  I added a little Sage Shadow Grosgrain and Vintage Brads.

I hope my fellow stamper, Ida, likes it as much as I do!

Thanks for the visit!
