Western Bluebird Branch ~ HSS421


Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge #421.  First off, I need to say that I am so happy they brought back Misty Moonlight as a core color.  It was one of my favorite blues ever!  Secondly, when I saw this color combo I immediately thought of a western bluebird, which is a bird that visits my area.  They are blue with a bit of the copper clay color on their breast.  
I chose to use the Seasonal Branches set and water color my bluebird.  I just love the way the colors mix together when watercoloring, especially on birds.


For the background, I took a piece of Like an Animal DSP (I'm trying to use up paper in my old stash) and brushed it with Misty Moonlight ink.  I'm loving the way this turned out!


Here's a list of my supplies.....
Stamps: Seasonal Branches
Paper: Pecan Pie, Copper Clay, Watercolor, Like an animal DSP
Ink: Pecan Pie, Misty Moonlight, Copper Clay, Stazon
Accessories: Stitched Nested Labels dies, Intricate Leaves dies, Misty Moonlight twine.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day! 
Jenny
