I used the ODBD sketch challenge to make an anniversary card for a couple in church.
5 3/4" square base.
Papers are Basic Grey, mostly Pyrus except for the dark greeny matting.
I added a strip of lace along the bottom panel, with a pearl at each point. I perched a singing bird at the top of the side panel, with some greenery punched from the same paper as the mat layers.
Sentiment from Randi's Song was stamped with ColorBox Pigment Brown on the Pyrus paper, cut and embossed with Labels 8, masked with an oval and sponged with ColorBox Pigment Prussian Blue. Sadly many of my ColorBox Cats Eyes are near the end of their life, but after 5 years for some of them I suppose that's not bad...
Sentiment was then edged with Versamark and copper EP and popped up on foam.

Sabrina,
This is so beautiful! The DPs are lovely together, the colors are wonderful and the lace is such a pretty touch. Your center sentiment is very peaceful with the blue color!

So pretty and what a lovely anniversary card, with the song verse on it! I love the lace and pearls and punching the bird out of a music score is a touch of genius!
