I made this for two reasons, one I wanted to make a special card for my friend Gina who just bought her first place, and two for the Priscilla Midnight Madness Challenge.
I used pretty in pink as my base, then layered it with Pink pirouette. I ran it thru the cb. I used certain celery as my mat, and stamped the reeds from Inspired by Nature in celery.
I used my markers for the flowers, regal rose, rose red and certain celery. I stamped my butterfly and bee in black, then used glitter gel pen to give it some shine. I added barely banana to the bee.
Gina really likes pink, so I wanted to reflect that in the card that I made. I also hand painted a birdhouse just for her. Seeing that she is a homeowner, she should have some of the same perks as a home owner, watching pretty birds in the backyard. I hope she likes it.

Hi Dara....well, I don't know what to comment on first, it is all so lovely. My favorite though is the color pallete you have chosen for your card. I know your friend will love it. Blessings, Tracy00MMDT
Dara, what a great creation for your friend. She will truly appreciate this and with the added bird box, she will be thrilled!! I LOVE the stamp sets you've used for one thing and I love your color combo, butterfly and let's not forget the bee!! You did a fantastic job.
