Unscripted Sketches Challenge - Sketch #159

I am sharing a card I made based on sketch #159 on Unscripted Sketches.

It's hard to see in my amateur photo, but the edges of the card are inked with pink. This gives it a muted quality so that the red doesn't overwhelm the elegance of the inner paper. The two patterned papers I received in a swap I did with my RAK group (check it out here). The buttons and bling are also from one of the lovely ladies in my swap group! The pocket is a free svg file from SVGCuts. The stamps are both from a set from Studio G. I used Colorbox inks and then colored in the bird with a colored pencil. Thanks for stopping by!
