OM Gosh, I just discovered THE CASE STUDY Blog. I totally love it. They pick a "Muse" for the month and they select a really great card, and you study it and case it. This month the Muse is Silke Ledlow and she is soooo talented. I loved working on this card! Here is the link to The Case Study:
Paper: SU Very Vanilla, K&Co dp and old hymnal page
Ink: Stazon Black, SU! Mello Moss, Soft Sky, Creamy Caramel, and Old Olive
Accessories: Ribbon, SU! brad, SU! Faux Sewing kit, Feather, Prima flowers, the little blooms are the last of some flowers Pat Smethers sent me (sniff, sniff), pearls

Love it my dear! What a beautiful case of this awesome cardmaker and sweet stamper friend Silke. Well done Nancy dear. Love the vintage feel, the bird is just the right element to go with this beautiful scene. TFS

You are on a sympathy roll, my dear (sorry that you need to be). This is simply stunning with the muted colors, texture and gentle image and embellies. Wonderful study of an extraordinary cardmaker. Ummm...could you get us the link for that blog? don't know if I dare to play yet, but I would like to stalk at least. Thanks.
