This card almost turned into a disaster like the last one, but somehow I think I pulled it back together again. I based it on the 2 challenges, sketch 224 and color 214 to use Bordering Blue, So Saffron, Pink Pirouette (and Chocolate Chip optional).
It was the perfect color combo from my new SU Bella Birds DSP. It was just getting everything to work together that I had problems with.
There's DD on the pink blossoms, but don't know it it came out very good in the photo.
Thanks for taking the time to look and leave me a comment if you have a moment to spare!

Well - there you go again knocking off multiple challenges. I love this - this is such a soft colour combo. Love the piercing (another favorite technique) and the sparkly brads. Great card! Hope to get something done at my end soon!!!

Lovely card! The tree reminds me of the cherry trees that are finally blooming out here. Nice touch of the bird with the birdhouse too. You definitely pulled it off and congrats on the multi challenge card.
