Joy and a birdie

Isn't that bird adorable.  It an image from Retro Cafe Art on THIS collage sheet.  The base is white cardstock embossed with Tim Holtz's Alterations holly leave folder.  Distress inks sponged on with a blending tool.  A sketch pencil used around the bird to help it pop.  Flourish cut from grunge, painted and then Distress Stickles.  Mini tattered poinsettia cut from manila card that I've glued a piece of Gregg Shorthand book page to, inked with Distress.  'Joy' is a decorative button.
