Instructions:
I Layed red glossy cardstock, and green victoria corner punched

Xyron. I then Stamped the chickadees on white cardstock with
memories black ink. Colored the chickadees with Col-erase, and
Prismacolored pencils. Flocked the head, and the throat with
black flocking. Used 3D paint on the eyes, and beaks. I then
cut out the birds and the branch very close, and then put 2-way
foam tape on the back of the whole thing for dimension.
Background
I stamped the pine with Perfect Medium on torn sage cardstock,
used a dark green blo pen over the sage cardstock with a fine
mist. Using 1/2" wonder tape mounted the sage paper to wheat
mullberry paper, and to the green patterned wallpaper background.
Removed the paper from the foam tape from the chickadees, and
attach them to the sage paper. Arranged the punched out ferns
and the pinecone on the branch underneath the chickadees, and
also the punched out red berries. Glued them on with E6000. Dot
the red berries with red 3D paint, and the ferns with Ranger
crystal Stickles.
