I chose her beautiful bottle garland kit to inspire my design.
This week's sponsor is Karber Digital Designs and they gave the team this wonderful Butterflies image to work with this week.
I used clipping masks to digitally paper piece my image and background and then added highlights with colored pencils after printing. I stamped the sentiment and little bird (which is also paper pieced with yellow DP) from Kim Hughes' Forest Friendzy to complete my design.
One lucky winner for this week's challenge will win two free digital images of your choice from Karber Digital Designs. Another will win this lovely box of Fine Art Notecards from Heartsong.
Make sure you stop by the other Design Team Member blogs to check out their inspired creations & use keyword EIC116 if you upload to a gallery:
