July's Canvas Create - Birds on a Banner

Hi there,
I have been taking it easy today, resting from a weekend of intense redecorating of my daughter's bedroom. I decided instead of counting the day a total loss I could at least post my latest Canvas Create project!

This one was probably the most challenging for me thus far. I am not sure if it was the project or my state of mind but in the end I do like the results.

Color Throwdown #181 - Part 2

Okay, so I was looking at my perfectly lovely card and I thought to myself, "this could use a little more umpf!" So I decided to use some of my fabulous new Shabby Chic Pink embossing powder from Archiver's Vintage Collection. I put it on the medallion in the center-top to add a little more bling and pizazz. Since it was a minor adjustment that would hardly show up in a photo I decided to leave my post as is and went to bed fairly happy with the results.

Apparently, I wasn't as happy as I thought I was because I woke with the need to add more! "Ah ha! It needs little roses at the ribbon area," I thought to myself. "That is sure to do the trick!"

So here it is finished (crossing my fingers).

Have a great Thursday!

Color Throwdown #181

Love these colors from the folks at Color Throwdown.

I chose to do a birthday card for my mother whose birthday is next week. She loves shabby chic and all things pretty.

I used paper from Basic Grey's Sweet Threads pack and Lost & Found's Rosy pack, satin and grosgrain ribbon, rhinestone and pearl cabochons, a brass tag stamped with "joy," clear embossing powder, and Cricut cartridge Damask Decor.
