Red Bird
Hi Everyone! I have a pear tree in my back yard. I often look out my window of my studio and see a cardinal and his mate hanging out on it. It gladdens my heart during these never ending dark wintery days.
This card is inspired by that image. I took my garden birch trees stencil and put it through my big shot to letter press the image. I then sponged a darker green ink over the stencil.
I die cut the red bird - nested bird and assembled the card. I added the sentiment banner and this makes me happy was complete!
A beautiful card, I love nature themes.

Billie- I put it through with just the regular sandwich you use for die cutting. See my post on 2/7/14, with step by step instructions. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for the kind remarks!
