Karen gave us an all neutral palette this week of black, crumb cake and vanilla and a dessert option of CAS or "Clean and Classy". So I made the simple bird card with the burlap piece and a simple happy birthday greeting. I loved the colors but "need" to put more on my cards. So I made another one! The second one has a bg made with several SU stamps and a ribbon added. I also cut a small portion of the image out of the box. I like both cards but the more is my favorite. What do you think?
Thanks for taking a look.

Wow, this is very striking! I love the out of the box leaves, collage BG you created and the gingham ribbon addition! Both are wonderful, but this is definitely more elegant!

I am so in awe of your amazing talent, Becky, I thought this was dp in the background until I saw the stamps you have used - wow, it is beautiful!! I do like this card better but only because I am a "more" person and I love how you have placed the ribbon with the button!!!
