I enjoyed the wrinkle free distress technique but at first it looked like a hot mess!
After adding the die cut & banner punched elements IÂ’m happy with the results.
Stamped then colored the bird with copics, leaf branch is a scrap of DP that has tiny print on black.
The die cut HAPPY was first in citron color, but liked the pink better, so the citron color is underneath the pink to give it a shadowed hue similar to the bg.
Punched banner, dry brushed worn lipstick around the edges and stamped stentiment on banner and popped up with foam dots.

Beautiful colours, and I do love that sweet little bird. At least with drying between each layer it's a technique you can keep adding to (to a point!, I've been known to pass it) till you're happy that it looks good. This certainly looks lovely.

Great effect on your Shades of blue & green bg - the touch of lipstick here & there adds nice depth. All your die cuts work really well with this look.
