I started out with the Summer Splash paper from Stampington and Co., and added some gold and silver Encore ink. I embossed the silver with Clear EP for added texture. I used sprays and direct to paper in various places and then stamped the bird cage from the stamp set using Poptone Blu Raspberry Ink. On a separate piece of Summer Splash, I stamped the sentiment with Poptone Hot Chocolate ink. All the edges were distressed.
I added Juliet Natural Crochet lace, Aqua Organza ribbon and two colors from Hemptique's Aquamarine Hemp Cord Set (all Really Reasonable Ribbon), and tied two little metal charms (a key and the word "Live") in the bow. A couple of Kaiser Latte pearls, and it was all done!
I am excited to be the Growing in Unity Gal this week at Unity Stamps this week. Come check it out at my blog!
Thanks for taking a peek!

Those soft colours are gorgeous, Judy, and I love that little lock and key. For me they work so well with the bird cage image and the Be Free sentiment.

This went into my favorites the minute I clicked it open. The background is amazing and the sentiment is awesome! Just wonderful!
