Congratulations to Faith (markie's mom) on being crowned this weeks Queen for the Day. Faith is most deserving of this honor. Enjoy your reign Queen Faith. I was inspired by this cardTLC303, CAS97, Speedy the cat loves birds
and also by the colours, textures, dots and design of this purse from Henrettas Handbags this weeks IC challenge
Can you see the little white (Faith) dots. Faith puts these on many of her cards - and also the little IC purse has black/white polka dotted bow on it.
I water coloured the bird image, sponged in the sky. Cut out image with Topnote die. Sponged edges and then outlined with black marker. Embossed part of the silver metallic paper with the Square Lattice folder. Matted with black. Stamped on sentiment with Stazon jet black ink. Attached the ribbon and sewed edges. Added the three black mini brads. Punched out two old olive leaves, attached the flower and leaves. Added Stickles to the middle of the dogwood flower.
I am putting this in the fan club gallery (Shapril) CT0411.
The challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges is "May Flowers"
Thanks for looking,
Hugs..Pat

Those billowy clouds and beautiful bird just make me want to sing! I love the embossing and pop of black color to accent everything perfectly! Gorgeous!

Oh my, Pat, love how you cuttled the BG to show off this sensational bird image!! Putting the dimension of a flower on the bottom to echo the stamped one in the image was such a terrific touch. Just the right amount of everything - great card!!
