Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge...
Speedy the Cat must run into my office and read the challenges as soon as they are posted...This morning I woke up and ALL my square punches were on the floor!!!!!!! All of them!!!! (SPOOKY!!!)
I love using the cake plate from Cake Decorating 101 (Flourishes) as a bird bath! (I have 7 bird baths in my garden! Hey, I have to SOME thing for Speedy the Cat to watch from the picture window! LOL!)
So, out came Love Nest, (Flourishes) and Bertha and Bullard Birdie. (They were both made with the same stamp. I reverse stamped the image. This was done by stamping the image in Basic Black onto PLASTIC! Next, I rubbed a piece of white over the stamped image! The image was then reversed! I touched it up with black marker!)
The background is actually Pretty in Pink! I HEAVILY sponged Apricot Appeal onto the Cuttlebug embossed squares.
I also heavily sponged the Basic Grey paper, too!
Dots were added with a marker and Inkssentials pen.

As always, beautiful card. I wish I had your talent.

Two more great ideas (new to me) reversing the image and sponging the centers of the squares! Both were done so well...I especially like the looks of the squares.
