What a fantastic IC site today. I could make cards for ever from just the bird section, although I also spent some time browsing other areas.
Not so sure about the layout I ended up with on this card, but I wasn't going to ditch and waste the DCWV card. - Replaced photo as I added a punched border of the blue/green card just inside the coral one on the inside of the card.
A2 base, back trimmed to allow addition of the punched border, front trimmed another inch. I used DCWV Old World papers (I think, I've lost the cover), corner chomper, SU border punch, Cuttlebug Vintage Corners and pearls.
Flourishes images stamped on Bristol Board with a tiny bit of masking,and coloured with a mix of H2Os and distress inks, then cut with Labels 10. The edge of the label is sponged with Faded Jeans.
Oh - THIS was my inspiration.

Sabrina, I absolutely love this image! The colors you used for the bg are just beautiful and I love the nestie you chose to set your image on. The punched border and those corners you used are outstanding! I am so happy you were inspired to make a card for the IC today!!~

Sabrina this is beautiful. I love how you did the bg paper. Your coloring is just great on this. I also think the paper on top of the white, then you let white show and added the border punch. I like how that looks. Wonderful card.
