1- Stamp your images in Memento Black ink on some Whisper White cardstock. You will need one bird and 2 leaves for each card.

2- Using the Dark Old Olive Stampin Blend Marker add some dark areas to the the leaves.

3- Use the Light Old Olive Stampin Blend Marker to the rest of the leaves and blend the dark areas.

4- Use the Light Crumb Cake Stampin Blend Marker to the branch.

5- Use the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin Blend Marker to the beak of the bird.

6- Add color highlights with the Light Old Olive Stampin Blend Marker to some areas on the bird.

7- Add some Light Pool Party Stampin Blend Marker to other areas on the bird.

8- With the Light Crumb Cake Stampin Blend Marker go over every thing and blend the colors together. You can go back over and add some color back to the bird if you want it a little stronger.

9- Fussy cut out your images. When you cut out the bird, just cut out his feet, you don't need the ground lines.

10- Add the Designer Series Paper to the front of the card base. You can choose which pattern to use.

11- Cut the Bermuda Bay or Calypso Coral cardstock with Die #6 and add it to the top area of the card.

12- Stamp the leaf image on either strip of Soft Suede or Petal Pink in the same color of ink as the cardstock.

13- Cut out a banner shape from each end of the strip of cardstock.

14- Use either ribbon or white bakers twine 16" and wrap it around and add it to the back of the strip of cardstock on the right side.

15- Add the strip to the card with dimensionals in the center of the stitched label.

16- Add the images to the card. Place the bird first on the left of the strip of cardstock. I used a glue dot on the bottom of the bird and a dimensionals near it's head for some dimension. Then place the leaves, one over the feet of the bird and the other on the right side of the strip with glue dots.

17- Stamp your greeting in Memento Ink. I used "Hello". Cut it out with one of the Stitched Nested Label. I used the smallest die.

18- Add it to the card with dimensionals, place it on the right of the bird.
All done!

Here is the other version of the card using the other colors with the opposite side of the Designer Series Paper.
