The bird and branch are stamped in brown ink and colored with Copic markers. I stamped the bird an additional time on a scrap of paper, colored it, cut it out, and attached it to the stamped image panel with dimensionals. I sponged around the edges of the panel in Soft Sky ink to soften the white a little bit.I used a piece of patterned paper from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie collection for the large panel on the cardfront. I tied a piece of celery satin ribbon around it and attached a trio of blue dome embellishments, too. The smaller panel on the cardfront is embossed with the Forest Branches Cuttlebug folder.
I wanted to add a sentiment to the card, but couldn't figure out where it should go. I thought about placing it at the bottom right corner of the image panel, but finally settled on using a round tab punch placed partway under the image panel. I chose one of the sentiments from the Mix Up of Cuteness kit. The some of the small sentiments in this kit are a great fit for the tab punch.
And, one last thing for tonight before I head off to watch the season premiere of one of my most favorite TV shows, Friday Night Lights (so glad I have DirecTv and don't have to wait to see it!) . . . I'm excited to share that I'm a new design team member for Page Plans, a weekly card and scrapbooking sketch blog. You can check out the fun news here.
