I cut an oval aperture from my card front and placed a background of embossed leaf sprigs (Spellbinders Leafy 3D Embossing Folder) to add a bit of texture.
The die-cut pieces are adhered together with glue and then placed over the aperture, with pop-dots added to create depth.
The card is finished with a simple sentiment (Stampendous - Spring Sentiments - closed), stamped in gathered twigs. The whole card front is popped up on foam for even more dimension.

This is the sweetest bird, Lolly, and so colorful! I'm loving that sentiment too! It goes with the bird perfectly!
Perfectly colored little red Robin, Loll. Perfect sentiment too.
This bird is so cheerful thanks to its coloring. I also like the leafy branch, which creates a wonderful setting for the bird. The sentiment is perfect, and I even understood what it means without a translator :-)

What a sweet birdie in the oval embossed window, Loll - love it!! Oh, and thanks for sharing at Die Cut Divas too!!
Such a darling little bird - though, the littlest bird we have doesn't sing at all - the Hummingbird - he does have a distinct trill!
A wonderful card, Loll!

This is a cute robin sitting on a pretty floral branch Loll, and the embossed leaves make a wonderful background, and a lovely complementary sentiment too...a beautiful CAS card. x
A pretty card with that colorful bird. Love the colors you used and that sentiment is perfect with it. A great background also. TFS

Awww, what a pretty little bird! This is a delightful card, Loll. The birds have been singing here all morning!
Thank you for joining in with I.D.E.A.S. this week, Lolly, and linking again at NBUS! I love the summer colors of this delightful card! I think you need a sweet standing bird cage in the corner of your craft room and you could hang all the birds from your dies! Wouldn't that be cheery? Love, Dolly
OH! This is awesome Loll, love the bird, and it's lovely colouring, with a marvellous branch and sentiment too. x
Well, you know how I feel about birds! Seems I'm nearly always on a bird kick. Your bird and flowering branch are so pretty, and I absolutely love the sentiment! I also love the oval aperture. Simply enchanting, Loll!
This is definitely a very cute little bird and I love how you have added interest with the oval window and embossed background. Perfect xx
