Inspired By All The Little Things #78

Hello friends.  Playing along with the Inspired By All The Little Things challenge where my sweet friend Linda is the GD this month and the inspiration photo is FABULOUS!

Aren't those just the prettiest cookies?!  Too lovely to even eat...I think!  But anyway, I was inspired by the colors, the quatrefoil design, the birds, and the leaves, and came up with this:

 
I went a little darker with my pinks than the inspiration photo using Autumn Rose and Scarlett Jewel inks.  I made a stencil with my Quatrefoil Cover Plate die (PTI) and sponged Scarlett Jewel ink onto the Autumn Rose layer and attached to a white card base.  I added another white layer that I die cut with the Mix & Mat: Postal die and then stamped with Year Of Psalms: January (both PTI).  My bird is also PTI from the new Brushed Birds set (that I can't seem to put down!) and the leaves were die cut with Pear Pizazz cs (SU!) using a Poppystamps Leafy Sprig die.


There are still a couple days left to play with this challenge, so check out all the inspiration from the DT and Linda, and then play along right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Oh, me, I might have to get that birdie set from PTI! It looks so much like a real wee one all hunkered down in the nest! I love your design with the awesome bold sediment and pretty rose colors, Marcia! Thank you so much for playing at Inspired By All the Little Things! Hugs, Darnell
