I went on a color binge with this one. Believe it or not, we started out with red and green, but ended up with a rainbow -- but note: no blue/brown/teal in this card.
The little bird was inked with Regal rose, then rock and rolled in real red - stamped it on using the stampamajig 3 times to get it dark/bright enough to coordinate with the colors in the DP. The DP is from a package of mixed papers from Target a couple of years ago.
See my ovals? Tater used some connections to get me a set of Creative Memories oval templates. She also gave me a handful of dew drops once when we were playing "artist".
If you have a Wal Mart nearby (snort, who doesn't), they have some Scotch foam dimensionals in what's left of the scrapbooking dept. which are great. They mash down while mailing, and when taken out of the envie, puff back up. Of course, you have to get special handling for dew drops, but if you're not using a lot of lumps, these little dimensionals are great.

The rock N roll technique you did with the bird is perfect! Only you could find the perfect way to use that mega flowery DP and make it look great. Course, the CB is absolutely on the money and the Dew Drops just wrap up the whole package. (I'm struggling NOT to say anything negative about the PINK!!!!) Really a beautiful card and am loving them ovals Girlie!
