I made a stencil for the 4 blocks by taking my window die and cutting it out from an unused clear stamp sheet to make a stencil for the 4 blocks ( a great technique that I think I got from Jennifer McGuire).
Then blended my 2 lightest colors to create the blocks.
The bird was die cut from white cs, and then embossed with white for the dots (bitty grunge) and then color-blended and stamped with the script and splat from French Foliage. Then I sprayed with glimmer mist so it's sparkly IRL!
