This is a favorite stamp of mine. It's by Portfolio which is no longer in business. I have about 4 or 5 of these purchased at stamp shows many years ago. I just love the detail in them. They look great colored or stamped with Versafine to show off all the intricacies or embossed.

So I see we did use the same nestie. I tried layering mine but the next size was just too big! Love your sweet image, I'm just wondering who's talking, looks like the bird is! Your dp's look amazing along with your stitching and that lacy gold strip is perfection! Love this vintage card, Polly~

Polly, I marvel at your collection of unique stamps. Love this poignant image and the way you have colored it. Love how your main DP matches her dress. And the pale aqua stripe with the ecru lace is so in keeping with your retro/vintage theme. A SUPER card....as always.

Great stamp and fitting sentiment. Also like the dp you have used.

Polly this is so pretty. I love all the different dp's you used. It gives it such an English feel. Your little bird lady reminds me of the "bird lady" in Mary Poppins.

I love the way the punch reflects the chairback! On our news yesterday, a neighbor is suing a family for the bad language their cockatoo yells out the window!! Made me think of this!!
