Congrats to Nancy (Imastamping), this week's featured stamper chosen by Nancy. I wanted to do a closer case of this pretty card: Calming Camellia by Imastamping at Splitcoaststampers
But that all went out the window as I started playing. Changes: added a sentiment, leaves instead of flowers, square shape panel instead of rect. and diff. colors, birds and enamel dots instead of ribbon.
Also for Polly's leaves challenge...I first tried embossing some leaf stamps with speckled egg distress glaze on l.l.twist, but it still turned out green so no cookies for me. I scrapped that piece and tried distress glaze in peeled paint. I liked the green color better using it on the lemon lime twist. So of course still no cookies, lol. Oh well. Birds are doubled up before gluing them down. Sentiment is stamped in green and clear embossed and popped up with two large thin dimensionals.
Nancy, I hope you have enjoyed your week. Your gallery is very inspiring.
Thanks to Nancy and Polly for the challenges!

To me some of those leaves look on the blue side so I'd say you're entitled to some extra points this week. I think this turned out great...I really like the birds on this...I need to use my tiny die cut birds more..they add so much. Good job Shirl!
Looks wonderful no matter how you got there. I'll send you some cookies. Hee hee! You have my same green and turquoise vibe going this week. I can't stop. Love your look!!

Oh, Shirl, I love the Pool Party with your various greens! Really like your little birds .... especially the bird sitting on that cute sentiment tag! Your matte dots match perfectly with your Pool Party cardstock! Love everything about your design!

I love the look of that beautiful dp with your stamped leaves and the birds just add that "right touch". And, of course, I love the combination of blues and greens. Wonderful card.
