Hello Birdie

Here's my card for today's SCS featured stamper challenge. I wanted to use my new Papertrey Ink Little Bitty Bird set again, so when I saw this card, I knew I'd use it for the challenge.

I kept the layout and colors pretty much the same on my version, using a few less layers for a clean look. The bird is stamped on a piece of die cut Hawaiian Shores felt, then set on a stamped branch. I stamped the "hello" sentiment underneath the image in orange for a bright pop of color.

Like in the original card, I stamped my own background paper. The set's long swirl image is fun and whimsical. I stamped it in Ripe Avocado ink on a same color cardstock panel, then set the matted image panel on it. The panel is edged with orange die cut strips. I added a wide strip of Hawaiian Shores grosgrain ribbon along the left side of the card, finishing it off with a button embellished bow at the bottom.
