For today's card I have used an image from Stampavie by Penny Johnson:
The image has been coloured with Copics, the reason the bird is lilac and green is that I coloured him to match the one on the paper but then I went and covered it with the image! I have added a bit of Viva Decor Pearl Pen to the bottom of the cage but I don't think you can see that too well. I have followed the sketch over at Sketch n Stash and also followed the photo inspiration at the Ribbon Reel. I have used Spellbinders to cut and mat the image. Dies used are: butterflies are Dienamics, flower base is Magnolia Doohickey and Heart banner is Whiff of Joy. The flower I have made using Woodware punches. I have embossed some white pearl card with a script embossing folder by Cuttlebug. The ivory ribbon is from my stash as is the pink gem. Here is a bit of a sideways view:
