For today's Inspiration Challenge and Sharon Johnson's card challenge this week.
The inspiration was taken from a Bellacor vase...it is the third one Steph pictured on the challenge.
The birds were watercolored, the brown mat was cuttlebug'd with a floral vine strip and then debossed with Encore gold metallic ink. The words at the bottom were stamped with a versamark pen and then gold embossed.
Ink: Versafine black, versamark pen, encore gold metallic
Accessories: signo white gel pen for highlighting birds, gold embossing powder, inkessentials embossing tool and pad, gold dome pearls, green gingham ribbon , SU dimensionals
