Sketch Saturday - Birds & Branches

I made this cute little birdie card for this week’s sketch challenge. I used the Birds & More Dies along with the Birds & Branches Stamp Set.

This is the sketch I followed from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. I love wreaths so this was a great sketch for me this week.

I used the Birds & More Dies to create the wreath but wanted to cut the entire circle out. See how the wreath cuts out just the inside? I cut it out using the largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circle Dies.
