I couldn’t wait to try out the Birds & Branches stamp set and this is what I have come up with for my first play.
To recreate the Birds & Branches card, you will need:
Balmy Blue card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 4⅛” by 2⅞”
Cinnamon Cider – 4⅛” by ½”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
I stamped the long branch in Cinnamon Cider ink and added a side branch. The detailed bird was stamped in Old Olive ink and the full bird in Balmy Blue and I added the bird’s feet in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I felt the panel was too bare so I added more branches in the same Cinnamon Cider ink. The ‘leaves’ were inked using the following Stampin’ Write Markers – Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Bumblebee.

Using a Sponge, I lightly added Balmy Blue ink to take away the starkness of the background.

Using the Ornate Borders Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut out the dotted border from the strip of Cinnamon Cider ink and added it to the back of the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I used the leaf stamp and Balmy Blue ink to add some tone on tone stamping to the Balmy Blue card base. The stamped panel was then added to the card base with the same liquid adhesive.

Using a Basic Black Marker I added the birds eye and added a trio of Holiday Rhinestones to complete the card.
