A beautiful card in a gorgeous colourway. The clever design, pretty layered image, fabulous embossed corner and super faux stitching are all wonderful.

Koyel chose #122 Dreja 

Love the background work. And the dies

Dagmara chose #127 Crafting Stellalena

Love the grungy wire bird and the thread really sets this card apart!
