On our inspiration site today I found this bird image: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QCNDlJU-v...tzmarkers2.jpg
I am not a "journal-er," so I am going with option 1. I made a card that was similar to this a while back but I wanted to make a different version that would capture the more distressed/vintage looks of so many images on this site.
Stamped the branch and leaves several times, layered the stamping on the bird, and then sponged on the main panel as well as on a portion of the word prayers (love the look of this partial sponging). Splattered the card colors (diluted with water) with a paintbrush and assembled.

Beautiful! I like the partial sponging on the word..very cool...and I love the look of the warm yellow color in the corners...gives your card a wonderful light.

That background is gorgeous Maura - but the show stopper for me is the birdie - I love that little birdie. I also love the way you did "prayers" - beautiful work.
