Taylor gave us a true challenge today and it was a real zinger for me. I used the edge of an acrylic stamp block for one layer and vellum for another. I think this helped to cut down some of the busy. The lilacs and bird were colored with Copics. The vellum was stamped and then sponged with Distress inks. I am pleased with how it turned out and I hope you like it too.
Thanks for taking a look.

I love your card Becky!! The way you approached the challenge was great. I like that it doesn't look too busy, and you can appreciate the cute bird. The lilacs were a good thing to use.

This is a WOW card! "Pleased" is definitely an understatement! The layer arrangement is so unique and effective and I think I HAVE to have the adorable bird image. Great work with copics. Just a perfect card!!
