I've had a play with Tracy Evans Boutique Designs goodies to make this card.
Starting with a piece of white card, I stamped the large flower petals from the Tracy Evans "Garden Elements TE30" stamp set in "Bali Blue" Versafine Clair Ink. I then used the smaller petals from the same set and stamped them in Versaifne Clair "Blue Belle" ink.
I applied Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink through the Tracy Evans "Snippet Stencil Tweet - SS1" using less ink on the breast area. I then used the same ink to stamp the two wrens, which are also from the Tracy Evans "Garden Elements" stamp set, also in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, but stamping them three times to get a really dark shade.
Next, I used Pastel Pencils on the breasts of the birds and a white gel pen to outline the bird shapes.. I grounded the birds using the torn edge of a piece of copy paper with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.
On the dark blue flowers, I added a lovely gold shimmer using "A wink of stella". I then filled the white areas with polka dots using a gold gel pen. Finally adding flowers to the ground using dots of pink and white Posca Pen and adding some dots of "Mermaid" green Liquid Pearls to the middle of the flowers.
I love all the shades of blue for the birds and the floral background and the additional pen work and liquid pearls to the flower centres, and the masking at the bottom in grey to ground the birds are all wonderful finishing touches...a terrific card Sam. x
