I have been dying to use my new bird on a branch stamp set with the coordinating Flock Together DSP that I won in the Divine Diva Contest from Glowbug (Chris)!! Thanks so much Chris, I'm enjoying my papers. I won 2 sets of dsp from SU. Can't beat that!!!
I decided to use the SC233 sketch for this card and it kind of took on a life of its own as they appear to be doing now days!! I seemed to have finally really found myself so there's not as much frustration and bad language while I'm creating!!! I've gotten so much inspiration from the SCS site and all the wonderfully talented stampers. I have to admit, this one feels like it was inspired by my favorite "Pearls Are Me" stamper, WATTLE!!
I probably went a little overboard on the pearls but I must have caught Wattle's Mojo #Kathy# and I couldn't stop myself. I used coordinating papers from the Flock Together DSPs, embossed them with the swirl and birds and swirl embossing folders, used a little stickles on the feathers of the bird and the rest was flowers, leaves, and lots of pearls!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to look. I need to go check out the featured stamper's gallery tonight to see what gorgeous card from Dawn L's gallery I can case. If you have a chance, let me know what you think!! Have a great Sunday!

LOL! I somehow didn't have an image of you cussing a blue streak as you created your wonderful cards so I'm relieved to know that you're getting it under control my friend! My image of you sitting serenely stamping away can remain intact... ;) You and Kathy can be the 'Pearls 'r' Us' duo - great card - love the soft tones...

Never enough pearls! Except, okay, there are enough on your gorgeous card But not too much!
Beautiful card, Pam and you keep wonderful company, my dear! I think Wattle's gallery is awesome, too!
Love your new stamp set and the dp, too! You have been reaping it in, girl, haven't you! Go, go, go! Can't wait to see what you create with the rest of your new booty!
