****Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (March 20), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!***
I made my card using Melanie's "Wild at Heart" set, colored with Faber-Castell Gelatos. I then stamped a flower from Melanie's "A Year of Flowers" set. I stamped all three flowers with Memento and colored with Copics. After cutting them out, I shaped them and popped them up on some blue grosgrain ribbon. The bird and the birdhouse are Silhouette cut files. My card base is GKD Key Lime card stock.
