Once Upon a Sketch July Challenge

This is a photo of my girlfriend of 40years, we met at work and have been friends ever since.  The paper I've used is DCWV Street Lace that another friend of mine bought me back from the UK.  Here are a couple of close-ups. 
I made these lovely little satin flowers and the birdcage is from Kaisercraft.  I used Tim Holtz crackle paint before I applied perfect pearls to the cage and the little bird is from ScrapFX and I inked it before applying Tattered Angels Glimmermist.  The little roses are also misted and there's a handmade pin tucked in with the roses.
The black lace and pendant as well as the tiny birds were a gift from the lovely Amy, aren't they gorgeous?  Thanks for visiting...
