I kept the overall layout and bird image. I changed colors, paper, added ribbon and pearls and changed the sentiment and its shape. The bird is watercolored and cut out using the out of the box technique. I lightly stamped the linen bg in sahara, sponged the edge with antique linen and added another blossom popped up for dimension.
This is also for Cindy's HYCCT challenge to send a note of encouragement.
Thanks so much for looking! Enjoy your special week, Julie!

This is beautiful, Holly! I love the colors your used and that linen bg makes it look like it's on fabric. The dp is just perfect and I love the ruched ribbon treatment. Thanks so much for the wonderful honor!

Holly, you have honored Julie in a most beautiful way! This image is precious, and the linen bg, and sweet lil touch of lace & pearls are delish. What a beauty!
