Blue Jay meets Lovely as a Tree SFF

I made this Blue Jay using the Two Step Bird Punch with a few modifications.  I hope the bird looks like a saucy Jay - that was centainly my intent. A Jay is a beautiful bird, but the noise it makes does not match the colourful feathers. One of the species of the Jays sounds like a squeaky clothes line.
The design of the card was the sketch for Sketch Frenzy Friday.
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Sincere Salutations
Inks: Markers (Old Olive, Early Espresso) for the tree.Early Espresso for the sentiment
Jay: Pacific Blue, Basic Gray ink, black marker
Paper: Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso
Accessories: Two Step Bird Punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, round scallop punch, 1/4" Early Espresso grosgrain ribbon, stampin dimensionals

Love your blue jay. Ever cute and lifelike. I need to head out and get some seed for him.
