Here is how I made the card...

Finally, I used YG95 to add shadow to the very center of each leaf, then used GY03 to blend the colors.
For the birdhouse, I used B00, B02, B04 and C3. Then I used a Versa Mark pen to go over the entire image so I could heat emboss with clear embossing powder. When I do this technique with Copics, I am very careful to go over the lightest colors first and work darker with my pen, because I have found that the Versa Mark ink can smear the colors slightly.

I added a sentiment from Pocket Silhouettes (Stampin' Up) and scored on either side of it. Then I added some piercing under the sentiment and on the upper left corner, using the Mat Pack from Stampin' Up.
**Just a reminder about Donna's 3-D challenge on stampTV. There are still a few days to play and a great chance to win a free stamp set from Gina K. **
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend.
