I forgot to take notes of what inks I used to create this card so huge apologies.  

I cut white card to A5 then stamped the Clarity Blue Tit stamp in position using Distress ink.  I dried the stamped image then masked the Blue Tit.  I used Clarity mountain masks and Clarity stencil brushes to create the hills. I inked Clarity Wee Trees with Distress inks and stamped in position.  

I used My Favourite Things cloud stencil with Distress ink and added the clouds with Clarity Crafts stencil brushes.  I inked up the empty tree branch with Distress ink and stamped in position.  Then I stamped the bird feeder so that it looked like it was hanging from the branches.  I stamped the two mini Blue Tits in position. 

I used clean water to remove the clouds from the mini birds.  I removed the mask from the large Blue Tit and coloured all the birds and the feeder with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils.   I stamped the Clarity Crafts sentiment onto a snippet of white card using Versafine Clair Nocturne.   I glued my stamped panel onto a 5" x 7" card, glue the sentiment in place and added Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to finish.   Back soon x
