IC799 best of friends

Photo Details

Poster: Crafty Julia

My inspiration was this porch image with the wreath and aqua chair (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/788763322238964083/) I received a lovely card with hello sentiment, so I decided to repurpose it, adding fussy cut birds on a branch and a wreath as my stamped images. Used my aqua pen to soften the image of the wreath, and did a double wrapped twine bow vertical treatment.

The bird image is so pretty, looking like spring. Good to repurpose the sentiment, too.

Birds on a branch are such a fun expression of spring. Beautiful card design, Julia.

Such pretty layers here Julia, I love the texture contrast between the rope fraying twine and the background too.
