This card is the latter (although I COULD have added more but restricted myself!).
I used Cream base card instead of my usual white and have had this stamp for a while but this is the first time it has seen ink. As Spring is technically almost upon us it seemed apt to use it!
I coloured it with Distress Inks then just cut round the edge.
The background paper is from Raspberry Road, stitched and distressed with Antique Linen DI.
I added some lace from my stash and a paper doily before putting the main image on.
The flower started it's life as cream coloured but it was too pale so I coloured it with Scattered Straw and Wild Honey DI.
The leaves were cut from some lace and coloured with Shabby Shutters.
The wooden birdcage is from Maya Road and again was dyed with DI - Walnut Stain. I plaited some twine for a hangar and finished off with some pearls and then decorated the inside to match.
The sentiment is also from the Raspberry Road 'Simply Amazing' collection.

Thanks for popping by today. Have a great day whatever you're doing. x

Congratulations on your GD spot Viv and this card is gorgeous with so much texture and the bird on the branch stamp is so pretty. I love the added birdcage and the plaited twine hangar, and the way you have coloured the flower to match, and what a great idea to cut the leaves from lace and then colour them too. x
What a gorgeous card you made for your GDT spot! It's a fantastic vintage design, I especially love those lace leaves and how you coordinated the colors of the flower embellishment with those on the image.
