 Freshly Made Sketches Sweet Songbird Card

I had fun with this weeks sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches!

Be sure to take a look at all the other amazing projects HERE!

So much talent all in one spot!

This is the sketch challenge.

This is my interpretation of the sketch.

 I decided to use a few new colors that will be added to the Stampin' Up! Colors Collections May 2nd, 2023.

The card base is the new Azure Afternoon Card Stock and the bird and flowers are the Azure Afternoon Ink! It's such a  beautiful color!! I also used the new Pecan Pie Ink for the branch.

Directions:

Cut Azure Afternoon Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and emboss using the New On-Line Exclusives Basics 3D Embossing Folder. Attach this layer to the card base using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. (Shop the On-Line Exclusives in my store Here!)

Die cut 2 Basic White C/S circles using the Stylish Shapes Dies. One large circle and one medium circle.

On the larger circle, stamp the branch and the birds feet in Pecan Pie Ink and the leaves in Soft Sea Foam Ink.

On a separate piece of Basic White C/S, stamp the bird and wing in Azure Afternoon Ink. Stamp the beak in Daffodil Delight Ink and the eyes in Memento Black Ink. Punch out using the co-ordinating Bird Punch. 

Attach the bird body using Dimensionals to the larger circle over top of the legs. Attach the wing using a Dimensional. Attach this circle to the card front using Dimensionals. 

On the medium circle, stamp the branch in Pecan Pie Ink, the leaves in Soft Sea Foam Ink and the flowers in Azure Afternoon Ink. Add some Rhinestones. Attach this circle to the card front using multi-purpose Liquid Glue.

On a scrap on Basic White C/S, stamp the sentiment using Memento Black Ink. Attach to the card using Dimensionals.

Wrap some Linen Thread around the card 2X and tie into a bow.

 For the inside I stamped the branch, leaves, flowers and the sentiment using the same colors as the card front.

Don' forget to decorate the envelope too!
