The Ribbon Reel Challenge #25

Here's the photo inspiration at The Ribbon Reel Challenge:


And here's my card:


supplies: white cardstock, Dollar Tree blue dp, cuttlebug birds & swirls embossing folder, Flourishes Spring is Sprung, The Craft's Meow Fly Free, Versafine onyx black ink, prismacolor watercolor pencils, Hero Arts white art flowers, blue buttons, Michael's blue gingham ribbon


And again adding this to the Simon Says Stamp challenge: Use Your Favorite Tool.  That would be my cuttlebug, which I used to emboss the background, and cut out and emboss the shape around the stamped image.

Oh my! Your card is sweeter than any confection the Easter Bunny could come up with! I love the embossing and the colours you used for it. The sweet little nest surrounded by the pretty flowers and ribbon is perfect!
Hope you are enjoying this spring day! We are getting a snow storm. Blah!
