I made my background by swiping my ink on my cling wrap, misting with water, then swiped cardstock through it. After that, I stamped my wreath....one of my favorites. The birdhouse is from a Flourishes set, stamped and fussy cut. I hung it from the wreath with a thin piece of colored cardstock. I stamped and cut out a bird, colored with Copics. I stamped a different bird and cut out just his head to place in the birdhouse to look like a baby bird. The ferns are die cuts from the Toucan set mentioned above.
Stamped a sentiment and colored the heart with Copics. All finished.

Beautiful card Benz! That watery inked bg is awesome for your wreath and the lovely yellow birds and birdhouse are fab. The teeny tiny bird in the house is a whimsical and darling addition.

This is a beautiful card, Brenda. That wreath image is gorgeous and hanging the sweet little birdhouse (with the birdie peeking out!) is perfect. Pretty background and a lovely sentiment.
