Apple Blossom Birds

Good morning!
I hope you had a fab weekend, and for those of you who have the day off today for the bank holiday... enjoy!!
I've scheduled this post because i'll be at work when the challenge goes live. Boooooo!

So, here we go with this week's I {heart}sketches challenge at From The Heart Stamps :)

Here's the sketch. The twist this time, is to use many layers...




Join in the challenge, and EVERYONE who plays will receive a $1 discount code for the store, and if you are the challenge winner, you will receive a $5 discount code to the store! :)
Remember though, you must use an image by From The Heart Stamps to be eligible, and please include a pic of the sketch in your blog post too. It's in the rules! ;)

Here's my card...
This is Apple Blossom Birds, this month's Stamp Of The Month.
If you are familiar with our SOTM progressive challenges then you will know that for every month that you play along, you will receive the next months SOTM for FREE!
If not, and you want to know how you can join in too, please click HERE.

I've coloured the image with promarkers, after sponging in the background sky.
The papers used here are Echo Park's Beautiful Life (green), and Bo Bunny's Roughin' It (wood). I paper pricked the edges of the green piece and dragged a coral pink marker through the holes for some faux stitching.
I've used one of the FIVE bonus sentiments that are free with this image.

I shall be entering this card in to the following challenges:
Crafty Calendar - Things with Wings
Crafts Galore Encore - anything goes
Simon Wednesday challenge - anything goes
