I'm so, so thrilled that Virginia Lu is this week's featured stamper. She's been such an inspiration for me for a long time. In fact, it was her gorgeous watercoloring that inspired me to get these stamps in the first place, so I knew I had to Case one of her bird cards in tribute.
Here is the card I chose: It's the little things.. by Stamping Virginia at Splitcoaststampers
You'll see I flipped the orientation, skipped the embossing, changed the placement of the birds a little, and have a different sentiment. I grabbed a small stamp from the Altenew Birch Land set to fill in the blossoms. Virginia's coloring is so vibrant and gorgeous that I had in my head there were more blossoms somehow.

You did a wonderful rendition of your inspiration piece. I looked at this piece, but knew I could never do it justice. You have!
