I was so excited to see the challenge colors because I'd seen a cool farmhouse/landscape company along the drive home on our rural Indiana roads and loved the colors. Someone picked the combo before me!!! Anyway, I knew I wasn't going to be able to go right to sleep as I'd heard more bad news from my mom tonight about her breast cancer (they did more extensive tests on the type of cells and hers is in the "high risk for reoccurrence" category which means chemo for sure now). So, went down to my stampin' cave for a little therapy. This might be a nice cheer up card to send my mom's way!
I crimped the black piece and used the Distressed Texturz plate on the cherry piece and added a little sponged Crumb Cake and Cherry ink to make the texture show up a bit more. I punched a black window frame then watercolored a floral scene for my window. I colored a second bird to perch outside the window. Added a double fork bow and it was done.

This is terrific! Love the textures and how you used the corrogated paper horizontally! Great looking card! I will keep your mom in my prayers! At least the docs are on top of things!
