Hello and welcome! It's the start of a new challenge at Allsorts and it's my turn to host this time around. Thought it would be fun to play "I Spy Something Beginning with B" and I did find lots of things in my craft room starting with B :) I'm sure you do to and hope you will join us for a chance to win. We have two prizes this week, a gift voucher from Pearlywinks plus 2 Paper Discovery stencils.
It wasn't easy deciding on what image to use because I do have so many images showcasing something beginning with "b" but then remembered this stamp featuring a bird sitting on a branch full of spring blossoms I had recently purchased and not used yet.
The stamp is from Penny Black - Bird's Eye View - stamped on Bristol Vellum paper and colored using my Zig Clean Color brush pens with a Zig Detailer watercolor brush.
My card design was inspired by the current The Card Concept challenge:
After coloring, I inked the card with some Mowed Lawn Distress ink and then used a stencil from this Tim Holtz set for some interest along with my old favorite French Script background stamp by SU.

The sentiment is from the Penny Black set Big Love, another newer one in my craft room but have used it twice before already. "Adventure Awaits" is a sentiment from Tim Holtz' Sticky Quotations foil sticker set. The exact set is no longer available but I did find some other options that may be of interest.
Before adhering to to the card base, I added a staple (which you cannot see) and then tied some black and white gingham ribbon on it.

Really like the sentiment on black and that colour carried to the ribbon, sort of draws all the element together. Great theme to create for, thank you.
