Hi there!

**Thrilled to share that this card was featured as a Spotlight Artist at The City Crafter Challenge**

Any big plans for the weekend?

I have a card to share with you all today that was fun putting together a mix of things I had on my desk. I love doing this from time to time to see what I come up!  The only thing I had to reach for were my pearls and stick pins.

I started this card with some patterned paper that was just looking to either be used or put away. It was on my desk leftover from another make. I then took a length of sheer ribbon and wrapped the middle of the patterned paper and tied in a fussy bow embellishing with a rose that I touched the edges with Dusty Concord distress inks and some stick pins. 

A hand dyed doily was added to the center.  Followed by the making of my focal image.  I started with a Crafty Secrets Greetings and Sentiment cardstock sticker and added to my trimmed burlap wrapping some twine vertically and horizontally a couple of times. This image seems perfect for spring.

A birdcage was stamped, cut and added to the focal image adding two birds from the Crafty Secret sticker cardstock. A sentiment ticket tab was added to the upper right corner and finishing touches include buttons and a pearl to the top of the bird cage as well as distressing the edges with tea stain.

I am joining in these challenges today.
