For me, I started thinking along the lines of a background-type stamp I could use for the shape, behind some bold picture elements on top. Our Best Birds set fit the bill perfectly - I love this linen-y background element, just right for setting off the lovely branch and birdie! I chose an anniversary sentiment for this one, getting low on those, and tried for simple but realistic coloring. Who's a handsome man? Lol. This is another set that's retiring this year, I've found it to be so versatile, I'll miss it a lot!
