For today's Hope You Can Cling to Challenge, Brave Heart, I used some cool marble like paper - done by applying shaving cream and ink in a shallow dish, then laying your paper on top, finally, scraping off the shaving cream

My background is embossed with Cuttlebug's Floral Fantasy. I used Offrey ribbon in yellow gingham and blue stripes with green to accent the colors, and a DC corrugated heart with some distressed paper with a heart. I blanket stitched the green back onto my one sided card. My blue birds are very happy here

Here's my card:
