Lovely You | Birds & Branches

This card has been over a day in the making, I've had to listen to my body which happened to be saying "I need rest, no crafting", oh how I can't wait to be back to my normal self.  All that aside, I am really happy with my finished card, I'm surprised I didn't loose my mojo with all the "tools down" recesses.

I started by using blending brushes with Pear Pizzazz to create a rough circle in the bottom of the card, then die cut to create my window layer.  I added a little Balmy Blue to the upper edge of the green, then a hint of Crumb Cake in the bottom left corner, then stamped the sentiment from Lovely You. I was undecided with the look, so added some splats by randomly flicking my Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue Stampin' Markers.

My bird is stamped with Crumb Cake and..... ugh Flirty Flamingo! (it was supposed to be Blushing Bride), then just a smudge of Balmy Blue to the wing and head - lucky for me I stamped off once before stamping with Flirty Flamingo or that would be one bright bird hahaha.

Before attaching to a Crumb Cake base I lightly blended Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzaz to an under layer with what was left on the Blending brushes, then added a Linen Thread bow before mounting the card base with dimensionals. 

The inspiration for the "window" came from this weeks CAS Colour and Sketch Challenge:
