Inspired by Vanessa

It's time again for our inspiration challenge at Lily Pad Cards!  There is so much inspiration out there in blogland, but I chose this card by Vanessa this time.  Please visit her blog, Wings of a Butterfly, to see more of the same!

I chose a Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage panel of birds to base my card on, and pulled the colors from it.  I loved how everything popped against Vanessa's dark brown background, so I looked for something similar, and found it in my new Memory Box Valise papers.  The fact that it's all about singing is even better!  Since I had so little stamping to do on this card, I broke out my sewing machine and added some stitching to mimic Vanessa's.
