I used one stamp of the Sketchy Flourishes set from Inkadinkado and stamped it twice with brilliance Thyme and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
I sponged over the flourishes with Stormy sky and Weathered wood for the sky and with shabby shutters beneath the birds.
The image of the birds is from a decoupage sheet from Precious Marieke, cut by hand into several layers.
The frame embroidery pattern is from Sjaak van Went.
I did the embroidery with blue and green thread that continuously changes color.
For further embellishments I added just 2 pink Rhinestones ( blossoms) and 2 green Rhinestones ( leafs) in the corners of the embroidery.
