I had been working on this for a few days now. When I saw today's challenge I added the tiny heart next to the word and was done. This could be a Valentine or card of encouragement. It's a large card- 4x9- so that I could fit all the elements I needed in the design. I created a collage effect by stamping the images onto the DP, I used Early Espresso and Blu Distressing ink around the edges as well. LOTS of sponging everywhere. There are 2 different 3D elements- The bird cage and bird on the bottom left and the bee in the upper right. The ribbon is created by pulling a thread from the center of the ribbon and tacking the ruched ribbon down to the cs.
Hope you like it! Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Oh, I missed this yesterday - it's beautiful! I love the way you've used this stamp set and the pretty ribbon treatment. This is soft, serene, and artistic!
