Vicki (vdm) has so many pretty cards to look at in her gallery! I was inspired by the layout and papers on this card of hers: Solitary Bird by vdm at Splitcoaststampers
I flipped her sketch to fit my sentiment but kept her layout and ovals as well as the tone on tone look of her card. I changed the colors, making my own dp for today's F4A85 with soft sky, baja breeze, whisper white and iridescent ice ep. I cut a window out with my oval nestie for TexasGrammy's HYCCT challenge. Some ribbon and pearls to finish it off.
Won't you come join us in the Hope You Can Cling To challenge forum to create cards for those fighting breast cancer?

Allee is correct, this is a breath taking beauty... Love the way you have framed your sentiment making it the overall focus of the card.... The double ribbon is so pretty, and I would love to be able to make a bow half as pretty as this one.. Thanks so much for playing..... This card is absolutely beautiful.......

Love your take on Vicki's card and the sentiment you chose to use is so sweet. These colors are so soft together and make a very elegant card, especially with the way you recessed the front!

This is just so very pretty. I have not bought this stamp set but I think I could buy it just for this pretty flourish stamp. Love the glitz you gave it.
