Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge!
I had a very rough night. My dreams were a slap-dash sort starring Speedy the Cat...In one, he was an aviator ala Snoopy... In the next, he was wearing CLOTHES and carrying a backpack. I even dropped him off at school with Markie!!! Then, finally, (and the reason I woke up and started working on this card), Speedy the Cat sprouted wings and TALKED! WHOA!!! Do you think he was trying to communicate with me via my subconscious? Or...was it the late night burrito? Probably the burrito! LOL!
The images were stamped in Burnt Umber Palette Hybrid Ink. The bird was cut out and adhered with dimensionals.
The tree was sponged with Cool Caribbean.
I added dots with a marker and Inkssentials pen.
The sentiment placement was done by punching the sentiment with the Large Oval. Then, I punched the WIDE oval and adhered it UNDER the tree's mat. (It looks like one piece when dots are added.)
All images, Burnt Umber Palette Hybrid Ink, Self Adhesive pearls, Basic Grey Designer Paper, Inkssentials Pen, and ribbon can all be found here: www.Flourishes.org

Absolutley gorgeous. I just had to order the bundle last night after the release. They were all awesome, but this one was my favorite.

I think this card is dreamy! The colors are so soothing, and I love the simply colored image with the busier background. You outdid yourself...and hey, that's really saying something!!!

Faith this is very eye-catching. I really had to read your description to see how you had done the greeting and the curved panel underneath. Very creative use of your tools!
