Well, how could I resist trying out my new “Bird Crazy” Thinlit dies”
I started out with a large tag and a variation on the “Blossom” layering stencil (THS031) — I used an Intense pencil for the branches (“Baked Earth”, #1800) and two Distress Markers for the leaves (“Mowed Lawn”, “Pine Needles”) and omitted the “blossoms” altogether.
So in this tag, the girl bird is looking at the blueprint and saying “But where are the walk-in closets, the hardwood floors, the granite counter tops, the stainless steel appliances…?” And the boy bird is saying, “With our budget, this is the best we can do and be move-in-ready! Can’t you just ‘embrace imperfection’?”
