OUR VINTAGE AFFAIR

over at "our Vintage Affair" the criteria is to create a LO which includes birds..
I chose to use a stencil and add 2 little birds sitting on a branch ...
I really like the contrast of the black background and my bright pink handmade flowers ..

the chippies flourish ... coloured with black ink ...is from Imaginarium designs.. click HERE to see more

thanks for popping by ..
I adore all the wonderful warm words you all leave me ...

    A very striking page and the two little birds on the branch are just gorgeous and I am guessing they are hand sketched..:) xx

    Looks beautiful Heather! Love your disciplined colour schemes - am trying to be more controlled myself now - it definitely makes more of an impact using a limited palette! Beautiful work & I must check out that challenge - have a good weekend!

    Hi Heather,
    I love this!! And I adore the houndstooth and the red and black combo! I just saw the best movie last night on Netflix...It is Muriel's Wedding...It was made in the 90s and it's so cute! It was made in Australia.
