I was inspired initially by the birds nest but then as I looked at it again I was also struck by the colors...vintage barn red, the blue from the eggs and the stark white of the freshly painted trim. How could I resist.
I started off by cutting a piece of cardstock 4.25 x 5.5" and ran it through a wood grain embossing folder. I colored the panel using 3 different Nuance reds plus a bit of grey/black. I then swiped a white ink pad over the raised areas and immediately smudged it around just to give it a weathered feel. I sponged Acorn and Fallen Leaves VersaFine Clair ink around the edges.
I stamped one of birds from the Three Birds stamp set on white cardstock using Paradise blue VFC which was then fussy cut. I twisted twine into a loopy birds next and stapled it onto the panel. Finally I die-cut a few branches which were sponged with brown ink added them to the card and finished it off with a few white flowers.
