Made by *B*

For today’s feature stamper challenge I chose a bird image card from Vicky Gould’s gallery but changed ut so it used all Stampin’ Up! products.

The background is done with my new texture plates for the Big Shot-I think I am getting hooked on those! I brayered over the Mellow Moss and Certainly Celery paper with close to Cocoa and a bit of Choc. Chip to match the original card I was copying. The 3 little bottom brads and tab are from Hodgepodge Hardware to add to the vintage feel. I also used retired satin Choc. Chip ribbon-I LOVE this ribbon and wish I could buy more!

The main image is from the new SU! set “Bird on a Branch”. It includes the branch, bird, “thinking of you”, a floral spray, and dots for snow (or pollen, LOL). For added dimension I stamped the bird in Mellow Moss on the Vanilla, and then stamped it again and cut it out. I used my aquapainter to add some gray around the stamped image to create more of a shadow, and then layered the cut out bird on top. The little corner cut outs are made with the ticket corner punch.

Thanks for looking
