I love this sweet bird from the So Very Merry Stamp Set. The images look like stained glass. I colored it with ink and Wink Of Stella so it has a pretty shimmer to it.
The colors for this card are from my Inspiration Calendar - Shaded Spruce, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry. When I first thought about these colors, I was going to make an autumn card but then I saw this bird and decided to make the card with it.

Tips & Instructions
Thick Basic White Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper - 5 1/2 x 3 3/4, adhere to the card base.
Shaded Spruce - cut doily using the Delightful Doily Dies
Basic White, cut the 2nd from largest circle using the Stylish Labels Dies.
Stamp the bird with Black Memento Ink and sentiment with Calypso Coral Ink.
Color the bird with Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry and the leaves with Shaded Spruce Inks. I pressed clear blocks in the ink pads and then used a Wink of Stella Brush to pick up the ink and color the image. Make sure you clean the brush between colors by brushing it on a piece of scrap until it runs clear. Color the branch with a Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker.
Adhere the stamped circle to the doily and then adhere to the card with Dimensionals.
Add some Calypso Coral Iridescent Pastel Gems.
Tie a bow with a piece of Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim and adhere with a Glue Dot.
On the inside layer (5 1/4 x 4) stamp the sentiment with Calypso Coral Ink. Stamp the branch with Black Memento Ink and color with Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry Inks and Wink of Stella.
