I am currently away for the entire month at the National Championships so I hope my scheduled post behaves itself and publishes!
This was a reasonably quick card using coloured cardstock from SU throughout.
I really like the pale green which probably has some delicious name (as all the SU cardstock does!) and I used that as my base.
I used an Indigo Blue large script stamp inked in Vintage Sepia onto the lighter card then matted onto dark brown.
The birdcage die is from Memory Box and I think the Ivy and tiny bird are Marianne (but don't quote me!).
I used a snippet of the base card for the ivy trail and whilst still in the die sponged on some Shabby Shutters DI which highlighted the 'veins' in the leaves.
The little birdie got the same treatment and the birdcage was cut from another piece of the left over darker card, so this will be going into Pixies Snippets Playground!
Finished it with s small green pearl and a tiny stamped tag.

A sweet image and a fabulous card design. Thanks for joining us at PG, good luck with the challenge. hugs Shirleyxxx
I'm thinking the green is Certainly Celery for the delicious green. Lovely stamping and die cutting my friend.

Pure genius to make that background for the die - why can't I ever come up with ideas like that LOL! Will be casing this idea (if I remember it!). Off to pin it to my board.

It's really beautiful. Viv. You've turned snippets into a really wonderful creation, and I do like the fresh green with the browns and beige colors.
