I have used two papers both with subtle colour and patterning for my patchwork which is stamped with white embossing powder and has a lovely little birdy from Retro Cafe Art

This was the real standout for me in the Gothic Arch challenge. Absolutely scrumptious. The bird is the icing on the cake. Fantastic.

I love the size relationship between the bird and the arch. The bird fits into the space so cozily...and he's very cute.
