I have to say that this was quite fun. I wasn't sure I had dies that would work for the MIX but I think I did! There are three layers of the bird, two layers of the circle leaf. I cut the ribbon in half, it's fraying but I kind of like that messy look for this. I'm also including this with this week's sketch, which I like very much and the ABC17L is for little stamps. I used those little stamps to make the 'stripes' for the sketch, using different Distress blues. They're an old set, wood mounted, but I think they're so pretty. I know the bird isn't the right shape for a bluebird but....oh well, I did what I wanted to do. Thanks for the challenges!

Wow I love the bird and how you’ve popped him and the circles up. Great BG too. I’m always trying to fray my twine and ribbons on my cards. I love the look. Happy day

I love the circle circus stamp set (I unmounted mine) and it looks lovely in various blues in your background. Your bluebird is so pretty, lovely card.

Great idea with your stamped circle "strips" to replicate the sketch strips. Love, love your beautiful bluebird with the blue and green color combo on his perch and the gold sparkly ribbon and gold twine (all she might like to swipe some fibers for her nest)!
