I decided to use the sketch to make a birthday card for my MIL. Her birthday is in early August. I struggled for awhile and thought it was all for not, but finally it started coming together. I think it turned out okay anyway.
I used the textile ef on the two patterned strips, dazzling diamonds on the little bird to give it a little sparkle, a flower, some pretty rhinestones and a ribbon. Used my nesties Label 4 for the image and frame. Colored the bird with Cameo Coral and Pretty in Pink markers and the leaves with kiwi kiss.
Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your day to look and let me know what you think if you have time!!

This is hard to say after our recent conversation (LOL) but this is a gorgeous card. Love the bird image (I am such a bird lover) and the Raspberry Tart is one of my favorites. You colored the bird perfectly and I love the Nestie frame. I'm sure your MIL will love it. Hope you are nicer to her than to me. Hugs

Yikes, Girl, will you just feast your sore eyes on this beauty! yup, we've used the same image, but, oh, there's a world of difference going on here. You obviously know how to color and I dont. Your papers are splendid together and the pink you've added to your image picks that up perfectly. I wont tell you though I dont think I've ever seen a pink bird at least not where I've ever lived! Such a beautiful card. I'm trying to be nice tonight. please accept my kindness and know that it's definitely short lived!
