Kicked off on Wednesday with what I thought was a 'bit of a cold' - now I feel like I've been run over by a bus and the rear wheels are parked on my chest - hacking cough, no voice (much to dear husband's delight...LOL), and the wooliest head in the world.
Tried to use up all my scraps of 5th Avenue papers, distressed, given a liberal rub with some Antique Linen DI then stitched them all together.
Used some cream vintage lace for the edge and cream seam binding for the bow.
Flower from stash and added three pearl pins.
Sentiment stamped with Versafine then cut out with a nestie fancy tag.
Birdcage is a Memory Box Die embossed with Weathered White EP then rubbed some pink metallic rub over it, glued some pearls in a swirl for the 'hanger'.
The tiny feather was my attempt at 'the bird has flown' - (told you my head was woolly!!)
Finished with some more pearls.
Maybe it will look OK when I feel better????

Viv, you are being far too hard on yourself, it's completely gorgeous! Don't dismantle it at all. I know how you feel being ill, I am on the way out of it but it's a slow process I'm sorry to say. My voice has not gone but is gravelly, hubby thinks I sound like Mariella Frostrup whose voice he finds quite sexy....I'd rather he be delighted at my silence lol!
Look after yourself, lots of rest, fluid, good food & maybe a tot of something medicinal before bed ;-)
It's so beautiful Viv...hope you feel better soon.

Absolutely stunning Viv - I do so love the addition of the little feather as well. Lovely work.
Hope you feel better than you did too!

PS - We don't have many rools in the Playground as you know - so do please feel free to link this beauty, a bit of back linking is OK within a few days and I bet the girlies would love to see it! And it sounds as if you used snippets of those 5th Avenue papers - must use mine more as they are really beautiful.
Hugs, Di xx
