This is an old favorite, updated with a new embossing folder and a bird from “Best Birds”. The embossing folder is Pinewood Planks, and it is one of our deep embossing folders. The card opens as shown below.
I’ve shown this fold before, and it is quite easy to make this card type. Here is the “how-to” video from a previous post.
I colored the branch with watercolor pencils and a Blender Pen, and I colored the bird with sponge daubers before cutting it out with the framelit. It was so easy to get a couple of shades and a great result with the daubers.
Here’s the sample I made for folks coming to Card Buffet this week. You can eliminate heavy ink marks if you begin sponging outside the limits of the bird and then rub the color onto the bird.
