Yikes - this turned out bigger than normal - I'll have to try again with a smaller image. Birds and Vines was on my desk from last night, and I thought it would look good growing up a wall.
This is 5" x 6", so I'll have to make an envelope for it.
I stamped Weathered in Versamark on some Basic Grey and chalked it, then stamped the Flourishes vine with Versafine Black. Sponged the blooms, coloured the leaves with re-inker. Cut out and layered onto some more Basic Grey. Distressed the edges, then added the little wooden insects and a punched pot with a sunflower. Sentiment is from Lots of Thoughts, and there's a tiny gem in the centre of the flower.
Be back later - DH needs the car tomorrow so I'll have to go out for a couple of things that I had planned to do tomorrow...
