FOCUS ON THE SENTIMENT
A sentiment must be the FOCUS of your project
I love this sentiment from Impression Obsession so that was my starting point. Since the sentiment refers to birds, I wanted to use some birds on my card. I just got these two sweet bird dies from the Dies R Us Store so I decided I would use them.
I cut an aperture with a Sue Wilson die from blue card stock so I could place the gold embossed sentiment behind the aperture. I sponged a little bit of distress ink around the sentiment. I backed the birds with some blue card stock to make the lacy parts show up better. A few Heartfelt flowers from my stash finished my card.
