Finch Greetings

Hi all - Today I'm playing with a new-to-me stamp set I picked up recently - part of the 2022 Hero Arts Holiday catalog but my cart was too full then. Couldn't resist adding it to the stash now - here's my take on Finch Greetings:

Supplies: Paper - BoBunny Joyful Christmas;
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Stamps with Dies - Finch Greetings Bundle
Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set
Other - Copics; white gel pen; foam tape; Hero Arts gems;
Versamark ink & Ranger Seafoam white ep

Another easy card - stamped, colored and die cut the birds; added white gel detail and glossified the berries. I tried to recreate the colors of the US Eastern Purple Finch (bit of a misnomer since the males are more reddish). Stamped and embossed the sentiment on a stitched rectangle. Assembled & done!

Since the finches are getting first play, I'll add to Darnell's September NBUS Challenge. I'm also adding them to the current We Love Stamping Challenge where Anything Goes with trees & or leaves. I feel bad I don't often get there since I know Hilary (fiddling about) from the DT. So here I am!
