Today is Tammy's turn to throw down some colors, and the ones she chose really threw me for a loop! I took some license with the colors and used some BG Marrakesh paper which has the colors (and a couple more---!!!) and then made my stamped image fairly simple.
I pulled out my Always set, which is "always" being neglected, and combined it with Circle Circus to make this card, based on the Mojo Monday sketch #111:
Since there is so much activity going on in this beautiful paper, I simply stamped my bird silhouette on a Confetti White panel in Dusty Durango, and made a medallion from various images and the challenge colors. Sentiment is from MFT Essential Sentiments; ribbon is Dusty Durango Polka Dot. There is some Jelly Roll glitter on the bird, too! This card is already long gone; I used it for a birthday card for a friend from church suffering from cancer. Sadly, this will be her last birthday, I am sure.
