inspired by... spring is near

Another awesome Inspired By challenge.... this week it's Inspired By.... spring is near

As is typically my custom, I took a pretty literal interpretation of the inspiration photo...
•dark gray background and a lighter colored patterned paper for the top of the card to mimic the light colored branch
•traced a chipboard bird onto textured cream cardstock
•created a wreath with a few different stamps
•mimicked the green heart, the color of the yellow heart was inspired by the yellow flower
•the sentiment strip was inspired by the sign in the photo
•the polka dot ribbon was inspired by the spotted feathers

I added a bit of distressing to the kraft paper with some jasmine mix'd media inx.

Felt great to undertake this challenge!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!
