Here is my first creation with this beautiful release:

I just love this floral frame stamp and matching die!  It comes out so gorgeous with little effort.  The scenery stamps in the new collection go beautifully with this, but I decided to use one of the sentiments from the matching designer paper.  The bird with flowers is from the Feather Friend Set that I fussy cut and added to the frame.  Here's a close-up of this cute little guy.

 

 

I just love this little chubby baby bird!  I think I might be using him again and again!

All the images were stamped on white paper and colored with mineral spirits and pencils.  You can see the complete instructions at the end of my post here.  Make sure to check out all the gorgeous creations from the design team on the HC Blog and leave a comment for a chance to win the whole release!
