I've been away on vacation and this is the first chance I've had to stamp since returning. It is a birthday card for my mom in Texas, and I was able to get this into a couple of challenges as well.
I really like how it turned out; what do YOU think about it?

This is fantastic, Colleen! I love that pale yellow and black color combo. It is really quite elegant. Your beautifully colored bird looks so *sweet* against the filigree cake behind it. I made a card for the FLLCSEP10 challenge too (to be posted on Thursday)--and used this same Flourishes set for it!! Great minds think alike, for sure!!
We have so much catching up to do!!! It's taken me a week to do all of the post-vacation stuff--and I'm still not done. Being back on a schedule (now that the kids are back to school!) will help. I hope . . .

Fabulous first card back from vacation! I love the bg paper and the stamping on the paper. The bird is awesome and look at that fussy cutting. Love that he's popped over the cake. Your mom will love this b'day card for sure.
