Oh fall! Tis the season for pretty leaves, warm weather thoughts and sweet little bird cards. The Perched in a Tree stamp and coordinating Aspen Tree Dies are the perfect autumn combination. This project shares helpful tips for Blending Brushes and Sponge Daubers - and which one to use where. I'll even show a quick no-color version with this stamp set, in case you want a speedy card with quick success. Wondering what kind of bird this is? I quizzed a friend who is a qualified expert on North American birds, and he assures me that this sweet birdie is NOT any specific species, at least in North America. So if you know what kind of bird it is (calling all you world bird experts), please let me know! But in the meantime, I've been granted license to color this 'cute bird example' however we like.
