Trying out a new set, Bird on a Branch, and some new paper, Flock Together. I pulled the colors from the yellows and greens in the dp. They're softer than the strong turquoise in the paper pack. Stamped the branch in Going Gray on Barely Banana, then used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up and stamp the flowers in Basic Gray. Colored them in with Barely Banana, So Saffron and Certainly Celery markers. Stamped the little dots and sponged the panel in Certainly Celery.
The bird is stamped in Garden Green on celery and cut out. Layered the narrow celery ribbon on the wide saffron ribbon from the SAB ribbon bundle. Used the horizontal slot punch to make an opening in the celery panel, but this is covered up by the banana branch panel. An ice circle rhinestone brad on the ribbons and celery brads in the four corners are the other embellishments. The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green on celery, then sponged with GG to edge it a little rather than adding another card stock layer. Popped up the bird and that's it. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful ribbon combo, I like how you used them together like this. I also think the way you have the tail of the bird going outside the border of the piece it's on. Nice touch!
