So many beautiful ATCÂ’s to see! For my card, I was inspired by THIS one. The brown/tan bg and cherry blossom reminded me of these cherry blossoms. And I thought they went perfectly with the paper which also has a cherry blossom in it, & this Bird image.
I stamped the bird, colored with Copics then cut around the areas that would need to be lifted on top of the oval frames. The cherry blossoms were stamped separately, colored and fussy cut. I tucked one branch under the edge of the oval on the right with the rest on top.
Thanks so much for looking! It's just been posted on my blog w/ close ups & the colors of Copics I used: The Write Stuff

How pretty, Julie! I just love bird images and you have really made this one sing! (no pun intended!) Love the colors-the woodgrain paper is lovely and the lavender flowers are wonderful against it.
