This is for todays challenge "Crate Label Museum". Thanks Anne for a great site. I chose this label http://cratelabelmuseum.com/pic.php?id=3819 Just so happens my maiden name is Oatman. Not sure if/how I could be related, but just cool to see our name on something like this :-) Anyhoo...I coloured my bird w/ watercolours, covered in clear ep and cut out. Restamped the bird and branches on 1/2 a top note, stamped the fern in various greens and sponged some green & yellow. I didn't have and blue buttons so used my SU sizzix. I got this layout from a beautiful card by Kokirose (thanks Pat). Happy Saturday and TFL

Oooh, this is so yummy! I love your beautifully colored image, partial die cut and those buttons on either side of your sentiment are inspired!

Oh I love your sweet bird image! You colored him beautifully and embossing and cutting him out highlighted him even better! Your ribbon tabs are cute and so are the buttons. Fabulous as always! TFS
