Bird and Branches - another catalogue sneak peak - Paper Craft Crew Challenge #377

I have a nest of Robins in the tree in my back yard and their comings and goings provide endless entertainment for myself as I garden.

The Birds and Branches bundle in the upcoming catalogue evoked memories of this, so I decided to use this bundle for the horizontal sketch challenge with the Paper Craft Crew Challenge #337.




Paper Craft Crew Horizontal Sketch Challenge PCC377

On an Early Espresso card base, layered with Calypso Coral card stock, is an embossed Whisper White layer upon which the focal image is built.  Both the Whisper White and Calypso Coral layer are die cut using the Rectangle Stitched dies.


The images are stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White, except the branches which were die cut with Mossy Meadow card stock.  They were then added to the lower left of the embossed layer as shown.


The images were stamped as follows and then die cut with the Birds and Blooms dies:
Nest:  Crumb Cake, and sponged with Soft Suede
Eggs:  Pool Party
Bird:  Crumb cake.  Breast coloured with Calypso Coral Stampin Blend, sponged with Soft Suede
Feet in Black Memento,
Sentiment:  stamped in Mossy Meadow and die cut with Tasteful Label Die.
