Bluebirds

Create a background, using the negative from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. So, when you use the Winterly Tree Tops Die Cut to create a background, be sure to hold on to the negative piece to create this beautiful background. Thoughts?

First, I placed a glue dot in the center of the negative piece and aligned it onto the Basic White panel.

I then heavily blended Mossy Meadow ink all around it, using a Blending Brush. Keep the negative still and in place.

Next, carefully turn the negative piece 180 degrees and continue to blend Mossy Meadow on all four sides. Do NOT add any more ink to your brush. This will give you the two tones of Mossy Meadow. I did have to lift the negative up from the panel and reposition it so that it aligned perfectly.

I then stamped the birds on the Smoky Slate square and die cut them. 

Next, I colored the birds, using the watercolor pencils. I used the Cajun Craze on the beak of the birds, the Coastal Cabana was used on the wings and accents on the birds, and the Crushed Curry was used to color the berries.

I then adhered the Basic White panel onto the Mossy Meadow card front, and attached the birds to the center of the panel, using glue dots.

Next, I stamped and punched the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and the Artisan Label Punch.

Lastly, I attached the sentiment, using dimensionals and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
