The Our Daily Bread challenge this week is Wing It. Although I have, I think, all the ODBD bird stamps, I decided to just use the sentiment from You Will Find Refuge along with one of my photos. The photo was taken late December, as the canal was freezing up and there was just a small open patch with two swans it. When I went back two days later it was frozen over and the swans had moved on.
5 3/4" square base. Photo was printed and then matted on Bazzill Bling, all corners rounded. I stamped the verse, cut it and rounded the corners. It's on Fancy Tags, which I had to cut in half to make it long enough to fit the sentiment. I considered trying to insert some more of the Bazzill Bling, but decided instead to make a feature of it, and just added some white Liquid Pearls in the gap. I added two swan feathers which I'd picked up on a walk along the canal one day. Sentiment is popped up on foam so that the feathers aren't too pressed down.

What a beautiful, beautiful photo. I love the rings of water around the swan, and the soft reflection. The clean white feathers are perfect, as is the assuring verse.
