    Amazing use of so many stamps and layering of elements. the rustic burlap and the soft colours of the nest/egg and flowers/leaves is very appealing.

    Can you believe that I'm still making the rounds of the blog hop?! Your card is so impressive; everything about it works. The colors, burlap, used of embroidery, clothespin attached tag, and bird scene come together in a wonderful design. Fabulous.
