Nesting in Greenery

Photo Details

Poster: susanbri

F4A365 = "Greenery" - Pick a color combo for your card based on some of the top 2017 Pantone choices, with one of your choices being greenery.

I chose greenery, flame, and hazelnut from the Pantone chart here: http://www.decoventure.com/the2017colors/

I stamped the bird's nest in archival ink on watercolour paper, painted it using colours as close to the Pantone colours as I could get - greenery for the leaves, and flame and hazelnut for the bird and flowers.

I then fussycut it, die cut a branch to ground it on the card (thought I doubt that thin little branch could hold the nest IRL!!), and added it to a white cs panel on which I'd printed the computer-generated sentiment.

I made the card for a friend who is a bird-watcher and who just bought a new home.
