The Bird and the Tree

How was your Valentine's Day everyone?  Did you get to tell someone you loved them? Or how much they mean to you?  I feel so very blessed to have a family and friends that I love!  And my sweetheart and I are doing our Valentine's Day date tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to it!



I recently bought this pretty new set from Stampin' Up! from the Occasions Mini called Nature Walk.  It's very me.  Botanical feeling, vintagey....pretty details.  So, I colored up the pretty bird and branches with Copics and then paired it with some really fun Jenni Bowlin paper that I had from a while ago.  Seems like they are made for each other doesn't it?  


I stamped the branches on the DP behind the image that I had also colored, cut out and popped up.   I like the layering it gives.  And aren't the words on the pages really great?  You can also see in the closeup that I gave the bottom third of the card a little texture too.


And above is the Copics I used.  Tad bright on the sunlight in that one!  

Thanks for dropping by to see me today!
