One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Combining Retro Sketches with the theme Birds...

Today I am going to use the Sketch # 61 from Retro Sketches and the Element Challenge from Festive Friday which is to include a "bird" in our projects.
This sketch allows for a really CAS card, which I am really enjoying making...keeping things clean and simple! 
This is what I used:  all products Papertrey!
stamps:  Peace be Still
ink:  autumn rose, ripe avocado
paper:  white, autumn rose
twine and button from PTI
IP:  linen
dimensionals:  Dots from here look at her sidebar to go to her etsy and purchase a bag of 1,000!!

Oh Colleen, this is one of my favourites from you, for sure! I love the CAS design, and you did such a great job with the sketch. I like how you used the bird WAY better than what I did with it!!

So, SO nice, Colleen!!! Such a pretty CAS design! I just love that bird with the single little sprig! And each and every element is perfectly placed here! So happy to see you back with this lovely creation!

Love the simple elegance of this and how that green pops on the soft red - thanks for playing with Festive Friday (I thanked you for the wrong challenge in my previous comment - sorry about that - some days I have a hard time keeping it all straight! lol!)
