F4A470 = using one's birth month, use the gemstone color for that month plus one other color.
My birthday is in August...and many of my friends' birthdays are too. I sketched a gladiolus stalk and then watercolored it. It is the flower for August birthdays. The background was done with a stencil and Shimmery Goodness which has a highly pearl sheen. This card will be for one of those August babies.

I love your glad sketch and watercolor, Sallie. So pretty! August is a popular birthday month - my daughter has an August birthday. I love the background and oval framing too.
