I went on line to see if I could find anything suitable and came across his Kelsmcott Tree print and instantly knew that was to be my inspiration piece.
I used distress ink Forest Moss , then overstamped with Pine Needles and using s paint brush picked up the residue of the ink left on the stamp to fill in the the background. I used a sizzix die cut for the window and coloured the tree panel with distress markers and promarkers. I then adhered to a panel of cardstock which picked out the mauve colour on the birds.
The flower just happend to be sitting on my desk as it was a reject from an earlier project and matched the mauve panel perfectly, though the photo shows it as being more of a blue colour. The sentiment is a Wow clear stamp.

Love your take on this challenge Mrs A. By just adding that flower the eye is really drawn to the beautiful image in the frame and that delightful brocade. Thanks for sharing this with us at Frilly and Funkie. Hugs, Jenny x

BRILLIANT Mrs A! Love the whole design, and am a fan of William Morris too. The 'reject' flower is a perfick finishing touch.
Did you help Sam to clean out the chooks BTW? They seem to have been given a shampoo and set and are standing to attention so I sense the hand of a perfectionist there :)
Hugs, Di xx
Oh this is super, what a great card, Thanks for playing on MAWTT this week, Hazelxo
I'm sorry I haven't been by for a while, Mrs. A. Life has got in the way of my blogging. Sadly if I comment on everything I simply shall never catch up but I have very much enjoyed going back and checking out your recent posts. This William Morris inspired creation is very pretty but I think my favourite of your recent posts is you fabric and paper tag. It's gorgeous! Hugs, Lesley
That gorgeous flower is perfect for this project. But I really love the swirly background you created.
Sweet Cheeks is poorly. Just had a full bed change. VUH, of course, snored through the whole thing!

Mrs. A., you are always so very creative. That background is just amazing! I love the swirls - it's so incredibly beautiful. The window with the flower is perfect with all the other lovelies you've put together. As always, wonderfully done. Thanks for your lovely comments. You're always so supportive---I really appreciate you! ;-)
Beautiful card Mrs A and I love the inspiration behind design. These colours work perfectly together and the little love birds are too cute :) Donna ♥ x
Just beautiful! I love William Morris (and I have a half-finished needlework cushion cover to prove it!) The brocade stamp is so elegant, and the flower is just so vivid! Lovely!
love Mags B x

Mrs A, you just educated me about William Morris. Thank you. I love your front panel on the card and it is so like the Wm Morris print. You did a lovely piece with adding the tree and birds. Very creative. Thanks for joining us and playing along at Great Impression Stamps March Challenge "Going Green".
