This was literally a 10 minute card. I was heading out the door to my Bible study last night when I thought of taking a card for our group to sign together for a member whose FIL had passed away. Should have just grabbed one from my stash, but couldn't resist trying another in the colors from yesterday's challenge.
I used my cloud template to sponge a Baja sky, rolled the wheel leaf images in River Rock and stamped my bird in Chocolate Chip (not sure how well this image works with the branch coming and going from nowhere?). I quickly rounded two corners on the image panel and the base of Chocolate Chip and my quick card was done. I also wheeled the leaves along the left edge of a River Rock piece and rounded its edges for the inside piece.

this is a pretty sympathy card-I like the look of the branches-its like we are getting a side view of the tree r bush the bird is on-you did great in 10 minutes

, I got that stamp because I am such a sucker for birds, but I have the same reservation as you about the branch. However, I think it looks lovely with your sponged clouds and the foliage.
Some of the ribbon you gave me was so perfect for the sketch yesterday!
