This is for several challenges. Today's WT: Ovals, FS: Stampwithsandy-Sandy Mathis, Color Throwdown: Gumball Green, Melon Mambo, Basic Gray. Sandy, you have an exquisite gallery full of eye candy and so much to choose from! This is the card I went with for inspiration: Language of Friendship In Color by stampwithsandy at Splitcoaststampers I stayed with mostly the same layout, but I did not add a sentiment nor ribbon (what I had just didn't look right). I stamped my bird in gray and sponged in gray adding a pearl for the eye. I sponged the frame while in the die, stamped and punched flowers and leaves, sponged the dp and added pearls. Congratulations, Sandy, and enjoy your royal week! Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

Oh how pretty! I just LOVE the color combo, the dsp and the shading on the bird! The little blooms are the perfect touch!

Roberta this card really touches me it is sooooo gorgeous.... I love how you have shaded the beautiful bird, the colour combo is beautiful as well as the lovely soft colour to the flowers... also love the way you have the branches hanging down and the way you have placed the different size pearls in the corners.... that dp and tulip frame is perfect for your most lovely card.... great job sis.... love it....

Oh, what a stunner! I really studied this awhile. At first I thought it was an oval window card, your soft gray sponging is perfection. The gray plaid bg is a fabulous backdrop for your soft pink flowers and its all framed beautifully with the crisp white embossing! Really love this, Roberta!

Roberta, this is fabulous. I love that gray plaid dp. And I love grays with a touch of pink. you nailed the coloring on your bird - it matches the colors in the plaid perfectly. A beautiful card.
