It's a little late, but Congrats to Barbara! I chose her Holiday Cheer to case. I changed the size and image, moved the circle to the top and reduced the size of the sentiment. But I kept a similar color scheme and circular image panel.
The idea for this card started with the image of the nest and the picture that kept appearing in my mind was Robin's egg blue eggs. As I thought about it, I remembered this pretty ribbon I bought last week. Ah hah! The ribbon is the color I saw so the connection was pretty obvious. After that, the rest sort of fell in place. I continued the theme with the fleur de lis embossing folder on the background. It looked a little plain so I added some redwood brown embossed diamonds randomly on the turquoise blue.
All images are Our Daily Bread designs. The nest image was stamped and I added just a little color using Prismacolor pencils. I cut it out with a Spellbinders circle nestie and used an Out of the Box Nestie Technique I came up with last year. A little ink was sponged around the circle and I used the Labels 3 to cut the brown frame and used foam tape to give the image and frame a little lift.
The sentiment was done the same way and cut out using the smallest Quickutz oval that I extended to go the length of the sentiment. It's attached to one of the Spellbinders Fancy Tags.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

This is just gorgeous! Love the turquoise and brown and what you did with the embossed BG! The out of the box technique is one of my favorites and your framing with the Nestie is wonderful!
