sss jolly birdie

I love dies that work for many seasons like the Simon Says Stamp Jolly Birdie! I was originally intended to give the birdie a little Santa hat for a Christmas card but when I sat down to create, I made a little lovey, Valentine-type card instead...

I started by die cutting the birdie from white cardstock and then I added color to the pieces with Distress Oxide inks (Blueprint Sketch, Salvaged Patina, Picked Raspberry & Saltwater Taffy) and blending brushes. 

After assembling the birdie, I die cut a few of the individual branches from the Rustic Nest set and colored them with a Copic marker.

The nest needed something to sit on so I die cut three of the adore words, coloring one with Blueprint Sketch and then layering all three together to make a little shelf. 

Next I stamped a sentiment from the Printmaking Hearts set under the adore. And finally I finished with a little faux splatter made by dotting pens.

What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!
Carly
