I had a look through the music and scenery sections first, but I ended up with this Japanese Wallpaper. Originally I was going to use a bamboo backgrounder, but I thought the bird in this stamp would give more of a focal point.
A2 card. Matt layers are white card sponged with Spiced Marmalade and Worn Lipstick. Sun was sponged with a mask using the same two colours and Mustard Seed. Then I stamped the image with Versafine Black and cut with Nestabilities oval. The large white panel is embossed with Distressed Stripes. I decided to tie some black organza ribbon around for a bit of something extra. I tried an alternative version colouring the bird in black and adding detail back with a white pen, but I prefer this version.
It's Spring here today! It's not exactly warm, but it's sunny enough to have all the windows open for a while, and it was beautiful in the Botanic Gardens this morning.

Oh Sabrina, this is gorgeous! I love how you got inspired by the piece and came up with a beautiful piece of art! Can you believe I have had that stamp set for over 6 months and haven't inked up any of it yet?
