Framed Thank You - Crazy 4 Challenges #38

It's Crazy 4 Challenges day! Today, the fabulous Cindy has a sketch for us and The Stamping Boutique continues to be our sponsor this week.

OK, let me be the first to say this was a hard sketch for me--I couldn't decide which way to go so I went the safe route with CAS.

I stamped this image from Through the Trees with Dark Chocolate Ink and added the birds with Pure Poppy ink. Then I put a Dark Chocolate frame around it to qualify for TLC273 at SCS: I've Been Framed. A ribbon, some stitching, and a sentiment and it was done!

NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of my crazy girls...er, I mean the Crazy 4 Challenges team ;-)
THEN, you know what to do--we'd love to have you come along and play with us. Just do your thing with the challenge and link it to Mr. Linky on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Please link directly to your project. And, if you upload to a public gallery, please use the key word C4C38.

Thanks so much for dropping in today! Can't wait to see what you do with this sketch!
