Cut a 3 3/4 x 5 black card and adhere to card front.  The white card was made as a “second hand” print.  I inked blended the colors over the stencil onto a card and set aside.  I then spritzed the stencil with water and laid a white card over top, rubbing lightly to transfer the remaining ink.  I then let it dry completely as I stamped, die cut and colored the bird with Copic Markers.  Stamp the sentiment in black and die cut.  Adhere the bird and sentiment with foam tape.  Add gems.
