Feed the birds
Posted: December 17, 2010 Filed under: Branch Out, CAS, Stamped Landscapes 5 Comments
Our family enjoys watching the birds feeding outside our kitchen window. In winter the seeds scatter on the snow and the cardinals, if they come, stand out: red against white. I added a little scattering of seeds in this scene with a brown marker.
I know I owe you a sponging tutorial; you have been very patient. I am hoping to do one over the Christmas break. I agree that it helps to see the steps rather than have me try and describe them. That being said, I will not go into detail about how I did this card. Of course there were post-it notes, sponges and embossing powder involved!
I have just a few more Christmas cards to make, and then I might need to whip up a few tags. But I had better get onto the gifts or I won’t be needing tags!
Supplies:
Stamps: Branch Out, Everyday Flexible Phrases
Inks: Bordering Blue, Basic black, Not quite Navy, Real Red, Close to Cocoa, Versamark
Cardstock: Flourishes classic white
Also: Clear e.p.

I’ll certainly look forward to the tutorial Heather. The layers of snow look fabulous in this card look amazing.
I loved seeing the cardinals in our yard too, when we lived in Virginia years ago!

Heather, I’m so glad you’re going to do the tutorial! I’m looking forward to seeing what I’m doing wrong. This card is so stunningly beautiful. I don’t know how you can bear to give away your creations. They’re all gorgeous!
I am so looking forward to your sponging tutorial because the cards and scenes you create are fabulous and I really want to learn how to do something *similar* …. if I can!
This is exquisite, Heather! Can’t wait for a tutorial…
Love the little spattering of seeds.
Simply beautiful
