I love these cute Clearly Besotted You're So Tweet birds, I even brought them before I knew about the challenge.
First of I had to make a card for them, so first used Oxides where i made my grass, sky and sun background. I then cut out the Simon Say Stamp Birch Column twice, one I put to one side while the other was smooched into some Brown Oxides stamped onto a craft mat and misted with a bit of water. I then blended a bit of the lighter brown to cover up all bits of white left. Added a bit of green using a copic and fussy cut the trees away so I could stick them onto the one put to one side.
Once the background was stick behind the trees I then used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles die. It did struggle with so many layers but a little trim with a sharp pair of scissors did the trick.
It was at this point things started to go wrong, I was in two minds which blue inkpad to use and went with the Island Blue because I thought it would show up more. It was at this point I got out the the You're So Tweet die set and using some wire gutters I cut the spokes when one went flying into what I thought was my junk draw ( it isn't now I had to tidy it up) but it has disappeared somewhere in my craft room.
It was once I stuck the birds down that I'm now wondering whether I should have stamped them in turquoise and now I've just noticed that I haven't coloured their beaks. I blame me age!!!!!!!
Do you use Instagram ? If so please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.

A beautiful card Debby and love the sweet little birds and the oxide inked scene with the pretty trees makes a wonderful foil for the little birds and the sentiment is just perfect. x
As always Debby this is a great card made by you. You always do such a wonderful card! I love all your ideas of different layouts!
Gorgeous card Debby :-) the little birds are super cute and I love the background! I have never thought to colour the tree trunks like that, they look fabulous! :-) As for the not coloured beaks, I really like them left like that and would never have thought it was accidental ;-)
Hope you find the missing die! That has happened to me on more than one occasion :-/
luv
