Inspired by this Pic: https://www.pinterest.es/pin/536350636879963703/ The swirls and colors reminded me of this walnut bag packaging that I happened to have on my desk. I've been saving some non-recyclable pretty packaging for experiments. I first laid a mailing label behind the packaging before die cutting the bird. It worked well, but I decided I wanted the teeny pieces to remain in place, so I stuck another label over the back to secure them. Then I fussy cut around the bird, a bit larger so I could apply some gold glitter ep to the exposed sticker edge. I stamped and embossed the sentiment on vellum, & die cut in an oval. The BG started with a failing of double swirl patterns that were embossed in ivory & pearl. They acted as a resist when I was using it in some gel printing using Colorique paints and the sprig stamp. The bird is only attached on the bottom so the wings have movement.

This is gorgeous and I love that you kept the tiny pieces in tact. Your gold trimming on the bird really sets it alight and the bg is ideal for this beautiful bird. What a beautiful sentiment. Love this.
