I created a similar scene for a greeting card and liked the results, so created it again for the booklet. I used various images (Penny Black: "Snow Fence", "Berry Bevy", "Natures Gift"; Rosewood: "Silhouette Branch")

Quote: I never saw a wild thin sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. DH Lawrence

I stenciled the background using sponges and Distress pads.

Stamped the cardinal with the Distress pads and painted with a waterbrush. Added the die cut leaves from my stash.

Calligraphy done with a Zig marker in a monoline "Architectural" alphabet style.

Quote: When a Cardinal appears in your yard it's a visitor from Heaven.

ID: Cages- God Loved The Birds 

I had selectively dry embossed the background and hit the high points with a Distress pad "Antique Linen". 

I selected die cuts from my stash: the cage Memory Box "Wired Bird Cage"; the bird is from a Marianne Design set.

The peonies were electronically cut and then stamped (AltaNew "Peonies") and painted.
