How happy am I to be able to play in the IC today! What a wonderful selection, Stef! Thank you! I must have saved 2 dozen images from the wonderful Design Spirit Studio gallery which inspired me!
I embossed flowers from Asian Artistry and Carte Postal in black, added the bird from Carte Postal in black. Sponged heavily with Cameo Coral and matted it with black on a Cameo Coral base. Added a charm with ribbon. Easy peasy!
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

You absolutely NAILED this challenge M!!! I can't believe how close it looks to the inspiration piece!! I've been looking at my carte postale set for the last 3 times trying to get it to work for a card and haven't used it yet in such a long time. You really gave life to the set and the challenge. GORGEOUS!! TFS!!
