Not so happy with this one

I was disappointed when I put the final touches on this - I did flip the sketch so the bird was facing mid card rather than the edge - does this bother any one else?  But in doing this I misjudged the size of the vertical strip - too much dotted area and not enough of the other patterns.  I plan a re-do.  The bird image was a single stamp from a yard sale - it is SU but I have no idea of the name.  Coloring is with water color pencils.  Papers by Lily of the Valley.   I distressed the edge of the circle and the edges of the papers. The Washi tape strip is from a new roll.

Psalm 91 ~ Guest Designer card for Imagine that DigiStamp

Psalm 91

                                                                           

 

This is my second card as a guest designer for Imagine That DigiStamp.  I chose the pre-colored version of the bird on a branch, and used the sympathy sentiment.  These papers were bits from my stash repeated the colors of the image.  I added some die cut leaves and butterflies cut from a bit of cs, and a bit of glittery ink to the branch.  This set has thoughtful verses, and you may choose either the pre-colored or black and white version to print yourself.  You may also print a version that has both the bird and the verse from Psalm 91 in the same panel.  

I rounded the corner of the sentiment tag to make it blend better with the image.  I added punched butterflies to fill in what I thought was a bit too much white space!
