Bird on a Branch

I have a quick and simple thank you card today.
The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I used a glittery dark blue cardstock for the card base.  The kraft mat is  5 1/4"x4" and the blue patterned paper is 5"x3 3/4."  The patterned paper came from K&Company.  I used To the Cabin for the bird on the branch.  It was cut at 3" and I added glossy accents to its beak and legs and gave it a coppery pearl for his eye.  The sentiment, and the banner it is on, is a stamp from Fiskars.  I stamped it in night sky ink by Tsukineko and trimmed it down.  I adhered it to the card with foam tape, thicker in the middle and thinner on each end.  See...quick and simple!  Enjoy!! 
I made this for the following challenges:
