Congratulations Betty (gbedwright) on being crowned our latest Queen. We all know that you are so deserving of this honor. Enjoy your much deserved reign - Queen Betty. I was inspired by this beautiful card of Betty's You have been missed
I used a bird image and similar colours and a similar layout. I used this weeks sketch SC383.
I am also putting this into the Ways to Use it challenge WT373 - Distressing. I distressed the edges of the cards stock, also the designer paper under the bird panel was crumpled to give it a distressed look - but you can't see that in the image. The edges of the ribbon were distressed as well.
I think this also works for this months Fan Club theme - Let the Sun shine in. The yellows and orange tones are warm, sunny colours - which fit the challenge.
Will be back later to edit this.
Hugs..Pat

Pat, this is so rich and decadent with all those layers, stitches, and ink distressed edges! You had me at the gingham! Beautifully done! Thanks so much for honoring me with a CASE!
