Alternate Monday Stampin' Up! Birds and Branches

I was having technical difficulties earlier today with my blog post. I apologize for the incomplete post earlier.

Hi Stampers, It’s Alternate Monday day. That means I am sharing a card taken from the blog hop that I participate in each Thursday. I am taking either the sketch or color challenge and making a second card that is close to or similar to the posted card from the hop. I want to inspire you to get different looks for your card by mixing it up a bit by color and design. Today I used the same layout, with a twist and changed the colors to give the card an “Alternate” look.

Stampin’ Up! Birds and Branches:

The recipe:

Card base: Whisper White 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2

Mat: In Good Taste DSP 4 x 5-1/4

Front panel: Whisper White 4-1/4 x 5-1/2

The details:

Die cut the circle/leaf image die from the Birds and More die set with the Whisper White panel
Stamp the bird images from the Birds and Branches onto Whisper White card stock as follows:
Birds: Ink the solid bird image with Bumble Bee and then follow with the details bird image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
Die cut the birds using the die from Birds and More
Stamp the leaf images using the Forever Fern Stamp set as follows:
Large leaf: Just Jade
Small Leaf: Pear Pizzazz
Round leaf: Bumble Bee
After stamping die cut the leaf images using the dies from Forever Flourishing
Stamp your sentiment onto Whisper White Card stock using the saying from Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set
Punch the greeting out with the Classic Label Punch

Putting the card together:

Adhere your In Good Taste DSP to the front of the card with adhesive
Adhere your Whisper White die cut /embossed panel on top of the In Good Taste panel with Dimensionals
Adhere a cluster of leaves to each side of the circle die cut with glue dots
Attach a bird to the bottom of each cluster of leaves with a Dimensional

Finishing details:

Add a double Metallic Trim bow to the bottom left bird
Adhere some Just Jade Enamel dots and Metallic Pearls here and there to the front of the card and your are finished

Here is the card inspiration:
