Birds on a Branch

I’ve had another play with the Free As A Bird stamp set, colouring in these images with Stampin’ Blends and cutting them out.

I’ve mounted them on a Pool Party circle cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies, and a banner of Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  To cut the flagged end of the banner I used a Layering Squares Die:

I also added a layer of Crumb Cake that I embossed with the Mosaic 3D embossing folder.  I first ran my Crumb Cake ink pad over one side of the folder, so that the ink transferred to the de-bossed side.  I think it adds a nice bit of depth to the background.

Here’s what was used on this card:
