Wow, I actually combined 3 challenges: colors (CC520),
technique lover challenge: scene in a circle (TLC523) and birds (CAS314).
Used a stencil for the sun-rays on the main card front, sponged ink on the die cut branch, bird, flowers and the stencil. Spritzed the bird, branch and flowers with shimmer spritz. You can see a little of the sparkle on the flowers - that's actually how shimmery the bird and branch are too. I can't overstate how much that adds to the final look of the card. Cloud is embossed and all elements are popped up on the circle panel. I love the 3D look of these types of cards, but they are still easy to mail - no bumps! Gotta love that.

This is such a nifty little card!!! It reminds me of waking up and looking out the window at the beginning of a beautiful summer day. I love the sentiment. I hope you can find who makes it. I'm always looking for a new little cheery greeting.

You sure are on the ball- three challenges on one card - what I should have done!! Since I am still behind the 8-ball, I will have to burn some rubber and get going tomorrow, maybe I can match your skills! Love how you made this such a happy "spring-like" card - sure need that here! It's a beautiful sunshine-y day on your card and I love the way you worked in the flowers with the sunshine and birds with this week's colors!!

This is a keeper. So bright and cheerful. The swiss dot cloud is sich a nice addition. The branches overlapping the circle look tertific. Into my favs.
