A card using one of my all time fav. stamp sets that will soon be retiring.....Touch of Nature.
I used the new In Color Baja Breeze CS and ink combining with Not Quite Navy. I love the results. I restamped the bird on watercolor paper and then watercolored with brushes by squeezing the lid of the BB and NQN ink pads. I cut out the image and attached to the Nestie EB circle with dimensional foam tape. I love the results. Added a little bling with the rhinestones. I also dyed bashful blue taffeta ribbon with the B Bliss ink. Enjoy, Nancy

This turned out so pretty, Nancy! I love the way you popped up the bird. The white on the bird almost looks a little fuzzy like soft, downy feathers. Just a gorgeous card!
Beautiful card, Nancy! I love the color combination and layered circle! The popped up bird is so pretty! The scoring and corner rhinestones are a lovely finish!

Gorgeous card, love all your detail with the raised bird, the dry embossing. These two colors are lovely together. I am liking the new colors as they are more cool hues. TFS
