Shrimcat is the FS today. She sure has made a lot of beautiful cards in a short span of time. I went back to some of her first uploaded cards and found this card:
I loved the sweet bird images. Here is what I changed and what I kept the same:
1. Changed the DP and colors.
2. Changed the stamp set.
3. Changed the ribbon.
4. Added some embellishments.
I kept the sketch the same.
The birds are paper pieced and colored with SU markers. I made a tag for the sentiment and tied it on with embroidery floss to mimick the strings in the image.
Thanks for a fun challenge and congratulations Kelly.
