One Layer Embellished

How's that for a title? :) Here's what I've come up with for Embellish's Color challenge with mist/paint:
Vintage cream cardstock, misted with Mallard Glimmer Mist. Spellbinders embossed frame. The bird is from a coffeebreakdesign.com stencil. I bought it last summer at a store in Poulsbo that (boo) had gone out of business when I went to visit this summer. You can still get the stencils online, and there are some fun ones! 
 I used May Arts burlap string as the wire (I pierced holes before sewing it), and PTI butterfly dreams sentiment in smokey shadow.
 Here's the gorgeous inspiration:

 And I'm barely making the one layer challenge at Wee Memories!
OH! And don't forget to stop by May Arts this weekend, check out this post for a chance to win some fabulous ribbon!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think!

    Oh my Jen, this has got to go down in the books as one of the best cards ever! Love the little bird on a wire and the fact that he's made (or isn't made) of misting!

    This is fantastic, Jen! Love how you used the misting to create your bird and the twine for the perch.
