Winterly Tree Tops for As You See It Challenge #342

It's theme time at As You See It Challenges and our team mate, Jane, has come up with a sweet one, For the Birds, a bird theme. Most everyone has a bird themed stamp set or patterned paper to work with so this topic will appeal to most. I decided to go with the little birds in the Winterly Tree Tops suite, carried over from the Sept/Dec Mini catalogue. Here's the Challenge banner.

I decided to go soft colours and off white, so I chose the Timeless Plaid DSP, Crumb Cake and Basic Beige cardstock.

• On a card base of Crumb Cake, I added a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic Beige that I embossed using the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder and lightly enhanced with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush.
• I cut a 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" piece of the Timeless Plaid DSP and glued it at the bottom of the Basic Beige piece, then adhered both to the card front.
  
• I stamped the two bird image on Basic Beige with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured it in using our Watercolour Pencils, Assortments 1 & 2. I used a Blender Pen to lightly blend out the pencil strokes and blend the colours together.
• I die cut the image using the Winterly Tree Top dies, and added it to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Dimensionals.
• As embellishments, I added some Faux Glass Dots.
