I'm really pressed for time, so this card covers A LOT of challenges: This week's Sketch Challenge, The crafty Secrets Challenge on both PCP (make a card with Gingham on it) and SCS (make a Birthday Card), and the Shabby Chicks Challenge (make a nature themed card). This card is so much prettier in real life--one of my favorites--but for some reason, I couldn't get a good photograph of it.

I think this is absolutely gorgeous, Amy! Love everything you did--your coloring is beautiful, and I love the popped-up birdie on top! Love all the different patterned paper--beautiful job!

It looks pretty to me so I'll just fill in a little more prettiness to allow for that camera deficiency that seems to happens sometimes! Love the little bird swooping in at the top - is he bringing the birthday greetings, I wonder?

Love how the papers work together so well...soft and pretty! It is hard to get a good pic with those colors (I've tried every setting on my camera!) But
it is a beautiful card!

What a beautiful card Amy!
It has a great soft vintage feel....yet I love the dark contrasts
and the boldness of the blues.....the bird is fabulous..and the double ribbons too....love it!
