So happy to participate in some challenges again. I killed two birds with one stone on this one (get it--i did a bird card--lol!)
Anyhoo---color challenge 178 is to use retiring in colors---i will mourn the loss of soft sky and blue bayau for a LONG time...so i chose those colors. Also this is for wt178 to use jewels on the card---I used pearls!
All of the stamps and embellishments on this card can be found at www.stampersdream.com.

Very Pretty, Cammie. How mega ditto that we did side by side blue and white themes with organdy ribbon! It's fun that yours is the 2 retiring blues and mine is the 2 incoming blues!
Anyhoo, love the bird image with the gorgeous flourish. AND pearls are perfect with the softness of the design. TFP!

LOVE your layout w/the thanks on the side & the pearl/scallop border. The shimmery flourish gives it an added 'blingy' look (is that a word?). :-)

Very elegant - love all the details - piercing, ribbon, stardust, pearls - but still love the simple elegance you've created.
