Sing Anyways

Hey there friends!
I am back to share my layout for CSI case file #309.
I used mostly Echo park Happy Together along with Berry Branches from Creative Embellishments for this layout:

I used the note paper for my background and then took the sunburst stencil from Heidi Swapp and added some mist using a large paintbrush. I ripped a piece of brown cardstock and placed it on the left side of the page to mimic a tree trunk. I painted the Berry Branches from Creative Embellishments brown and then added some white Gesso:

I fussy cut lots of flowers and a few trees and added them around my photo. 

I used the quote from the case file for my title and used a few different Echo Park alphas. I added some stitching through the title. I added a bird sticker and a few fussy cut bird houses hanging from the branches:

Here's a peek at the case file, to see more, check out the CSI Facebook Group:

Hope you will play along with us this month!
