Anyway, here is this week's entry:
The branch was cut at 2.5 from SFTN and I used flip so it would go on the left-hand page. The bird came from AK and was cut at 3, also on flip. The title was cut at 4in from SFTN and the nest was at 3.5, also from SFTN. There are stickles in the middle of the flowers. I layered the bird with a black body on black-out, so his eye would be black, then a yellow whole bird so I'd get the beak and feet, then a brown body. The red belly I did with chalk and I highlighted along the cut lines with a pen. I also used a Fiskars texture plate in my big shot to give the bird some feathers. I didn't have a cuttlebug folder that gave me the right texture (guess I need to buy some more!). I secured the bird with foam tape so he'd be raised above the branch. the eggs in the nest are also adhered with foam tape. The nest is a shadow, then two layers off-centered so both shades of brown would show. the background paper is from K & Company's Berry Sweet. One brown and the speckled brown are from CM, all other solid colors from SU, as well as the pens and chalk.
