Papertrey Ink's September Blog Hop

I have a card to share for today's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.
 

 This month's challenge was to use this photo as inspiration:


Isn't it lovely? I love the sweet bird, the colours and the black background!
Here's my card:


I combined three stamp sets to make my card: Beautiful Berries: Autumn,
Twig Wreath and Spring Woods, which I stamped onto their coordinating diecuts,
using a combination of Wplus9, PTI and Altenew inks.


I heat embossed the sentiment (from PTI's Winter Woods) in white
and diecut my panel using my Mama Elephant Femme Frames scalloped die.

Thanks for looking!
