This is for the teaparty which MariLynn is hostessing this week. We were to be inspired either be things that make us thankful, or the lovely little teapot with cardinals which she shared.
I finished the image last night, but was having trouble pulling the card together. Stamped the Northwoods image on white card with Versafine and coloured with H2Os. Added Crackle Accents to the birds beaks and the berries. Distressed the edges and sponged with Old Paper. The background is paper I got as a RAK from StampMuse, edged with a gold pen. I stamped a sentiment from Woodware and cut it with Spellbinders tag. Washed with paint to match the background of the main image. I added a button with some hemp, tied through the hole in the tag.
3 ash leaves punched from some green paper which had been stamped with white trees and not used, and added Dew Drops.

This image is so great and you set if off so well with this layout and your colors. I like all the extra inking and "washing"" and stuff you did too! Great job!
