Today’s card was designed using the Stampin’ Up! Flying Home Stamp Set. It also features the Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper and Glitter Epoxy Shapes.
I had so much fun coloring this card using Stampin’ Blends (Alcohol) Markers. They are so easy to use. They come in a light and dark shade so it’s easy to get the highlights and shadows when blending.
The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up Petal Palette stamp set. I colored the sentiment using an Old Olive and Tangerine Tango Stampin’ Write Marker. I added a few Glitter Epoxy Shapes to bring the leaves to life.
This card would be the perfect Valentine too! You could change it up and add a heart instead of the word love, or maybe a small heart in the mama bird’s beak.
Thank you for stopping by Brandy’s Cards. I hope you like today’s card and enjoy my video tutorial.
Blessings, Brandy

3. Cut a 3″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock. This piece will be the frame for your image.
Birds & Nest
1. Cut a 3-7/8″ x 2-5/8″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock. This piece is for your image.
2. Stamp your image in Mementos Ink. Then color your image using Stampin Blend Alcohol Markers.
Tip: Using the Stampin’ Blends color the Birds (Pool Party & Bermuda Bay), Nest & Branch (Crumb Cake & Bronze), Leaves (Old Olive).
3. Add a couple dimensionals behind your image. Center and adhere it to your 3″ x 4-1/4″ Whisper White Cardstock.
