For my card I've used this beautiful stamp is called Birds on a Branch and you can find it here. i've coloured it with my Graph'It markers and die cut will spellbinders die and layering it up on kraft card. The background was made using stencil and distress inks.

Wonderful choice of "natural" materials, with the wood grain stencilling it's a perfect background to that beautiful Birds on a Branch image. Love it!
