Hi! This card was made for today's Way's to Use It Challenge: Color Wheel. I went to this website and chose this Color combo: http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/rating?time=30
Vanilla, Tan, Pink, Rose, and Olive.
These are NOT colors I usually use together, so this was rather difficult for me...That, or the fact that Speedy the Cat kept jumping into my trash can and dumping it! After 3 times of cleaning up the mess I figured out I need to take it out the big can outside! LOL! I swear, the roots USED to be blonde...BEFORE I started dying them! LOL!
Mother's condition worsened yesterday afternoon, and so she spent ANOTHER night in the hospital. The doctors explained to us that this is a progression of the 7 cancers she has, and that it will only worsen. My mother smiled and told him to keep quiet, because she has too many things left to do! SERIOUSLY! The doc laughed and said that he thought that she just may live forever if she keeps that attitude! LOL!
The images were stamped in Noir Black Hybrid Palette ink onto watercolor paper. I used SU! markers and an aqua painter to color them. The images were then cut out and mounted with foam tape.
The background was run through a Cuttlebug Embossing folder. The butterflies are a Martha Stewart Punch.

Faith, I am so sorry that your mom had to go back to the hospital. You will all continue to be in my prayers. I love how you have the little bird house tied to the branch.

This card is really beautiful. I LOVE BIRDS and I think this is one of my favorites. I may have to get it from the Flourishes site.
