This card is for this Saturday's OCC Challenge, which was a sketch from Jennifer Meyer. The birds on a branch are actually one image, but I cut circles highlighting different portions of the stamp. I stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia, but then went over the birds and branches with some fine tip Micro pens to add some detail and definition since they were highlighted on small circles. I used my Copic Lionel Gold for a little airbrush action to soften the white. The DP is from Basic Grey's "Sugared" Collection.... I love this paper and the colors. I touched up the birdies with a little Gold Spica pen for some shimmer. Some little stitch mark doodles, golden pearls and a triple bow to finish it off. Finished card size is an A2. Close up pictures on my blog.

Oh my gosh do I love this!!!! I love the birds, and nature, and the awesome sentiment. Your lacy looking papers are fabulous - and the colors wonderful and natural. Your ribbon looks so cool - I haven't seen it done like that before, but love it. Thanks so much for sharing this gorgeous piece of work.
