I'm delighted to be a guest designer for the color challenge this month! The first challenge I ever did on SCS was this one....it's a fun one and does challenge me to think outside my usual box. So when I got a PM from Mary asking me to join the team, I answered with a big YES!! Thank you so much for thinking of me.
When I saw the colors for this week and the dessert I immediately thought of this stamp set from Character Constructions....It's a spring theme and I thought the pink and blue colors would go great. The white frame on this is the negative portion of a romantic rectangles die from Spellbinders. The blue dp is actually some stationery..it's part of a letter that my sister sent me..I loved the paper and thought..hmm, this would look great on a card..or wall hanging in this example.The seam binding is dyed to match the blue. I stamped around the edge with a branch and bird stamp using versamark. I hope you like it!

So cool that you used your sisters letter! I love it as a seasonal wall haniging. The bow is a really nice touch too. The doily looks so feminine and delicate. I love the stamped images too. This reminds me of characters in a nursery rhyme book mys sister bought my daughter when she was born. Wonderful card. I'm glad you were asked to be the guest designer too!

What a unique design, Polly! That bird in a dress is funny and weird. I like those egg embellishments. The layering you did for the frame, with the doily detail is so pretty. Love this card!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
