Shy Birds

More Smooched birds here - it's a phase!

ColorBox Boysenberry Limited Edition Classic Pigment Ink - stamped and embossed on Bazzill's Sour Apple Cardstock - acquires a linen-y texture with Reverse Bird Branches from Memory Box. All you need to do to is Smooch the birds and leaves with Frosted Aqua and Lettuce, and a combination of Shabby Pink and Sweet Melon for the little berries.

The greeting, from Many Thanks Design Adhesives, is simply glittered with Ocean Spray. The two foam squares are topped with Silver Fog Designer Foils.

How easy is that?

Here are the directions for this quick card:
