Sketch Saturday

I was itching to make another card with this great new bird die from Ink to Paper and came across a great sketch for the current Saturday Sketch challenge! I had to flip the layout because of the bird's positioning.
 
The stenciled background strip was a leftover piece using Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron distress inks and a hexagon stencil.

I used blending brushes to add colors after die cutting all the bird parts from white card stock. The florals were two step stamped images from Ink to Paper's Framing Florals stamp set.

STAMPS: Framing Florals, Feathered Friends Mini 1 (Ink to Paper).
PAPER: White, Hawaiian Shores, Green Parakeet (Ink to Paper).
INK: Berry Sorbet, Lovely Lady, Pure Poppy, Green Parakeet, New Leaf, Simply Chartreuse (dye inks by Ink to Paper used on florals); Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Evergreen Bough distress oxide inks by Ranger.
DIES: Feathered Friends 1, Framing Florals (Ink to Paper).
OTHER: Enamel dots, Hexagon stencil by Papertrey Ink. 

It's a day with having a plumber in the house! Both commodes were replaced with "high rise" models - lol! Oh, the joys of aging. We are also finally getting the water filter (a Christmas gift) installed in the kitchen sink faucet and it will be connected to our frig as well.  Fun times. Have a great day everyone!  ~Wanda
