This cute little bird wasn't one of my "must buy" choices, but I am glad I did get it. A little bit of scrapbooking chalk really brought this little guy to life. Even if sparrows are not really blue, this seemed to work. - Sizzix Red Die 655166 Bird, Sparrow. You can't see it in the photo, but the bird is raised with pop dots.
The leaves, Sizzix Bigz Die 656212 Branch with leaves, I choose to use my new Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber, Espresso and Making Memories Avocado for the leaves. Watered down both for leaf shadows and berries.
Sizzix Tim Holtz Tag & ties by. Cut twice. Once on cardboard and the other on cardstock Fancy Pants, English Rose. Loved this paper, but roses were a little too pink so I toned them down by edging the tag with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Vintage Photo.
The Letter with hart was from Provo Craft, Disney, Love Always. Used cardboard, Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber White, hit raised embossed area with more Vintage Photo ink. Used a red sharpie to color in heart.
Tab was from Quickkutz, Tabs. After adding some Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Barn Door and Frayed Burlap, I added words using Making Memories magnetic stamps, Express It and Rummage with some white and black ink I had.
The red heart was cut from scrap red paper using a portion of Sizzix 656187 Original Flourish.
After assembling, I added three darker blue flower from Michaels bins and a 12" ribbon, I darkened with the Vintage Photo ink. Satin ribbon is from RibbonFX item 555482. Believe it came from Walmart.
Watch this blog for more projects, as I go through my supplies to rediscover.
