It was nice to pull out a bird stamp I haven't used in a long time. I loosely masked it after colouring and stamped the background stamp over it with smokey grey, then sponged stormy sky around the edges. Matted it onto some dark grey. It's a surprisingly large image, so I had to go for the square base. I embossed the background layer with SU's quilt top ef, and wrapped some washi tape around the edge. Added the little sentiments, and made three paper buttons with the various card I had used for matting and layering.

Well, I just learned something. I'm familiar with the tufted titmouse (one of my favorites to watch), so I wondered if crested titmouse was just the European phrase for it. Turns out there is a black-crested titmouse and a tufted titmouse. (The crested has black on the crest, the tufted's crest is all gray).
Ornithology lesson aside, this is a wonderful card. The bird image is lovely and I like the gentle humor of the tweet and chirp with the music background. The washi works perfectly, too.

Ha, we have the same sentiment on our cards! Your bird looks so sweet on the branch. Love the musical notes and fun buttons. You had the perfect washi tape!
This is a fabulous card, Sabrina, and I learned an ornithology lesson from you and Sandy/stampingwriter! This card became extra special with the little details you added - the washi tape, the little sentiments, and the paper buttons (those are my favorite)!

Well nuts - I didn't want to like this card because I was so taken with the chatty sweating chicks but "darn!" this one is super too! Orange is typically not a color I gravitate to, but I really like this subdued orange with the gray / black accents - well and of course the music!

Sabrina, this is a lovely bird image! You have designed the card wonderfully with the embossed bg and dp! Re my card - I didn’t like the photo I took last night so deleted card. Finally had chance to take another photo and upload this afternoon! Still not happy with photo - the card is not as bright as it appears!!
