Hi

Here's my card for the current challenge at Global Design Project.  I was inspired by the layout, the bird image, and the blue color scheme with a metallic accent.  I incorporated all of those elements into my cute design using stamps from Lawn Fawn.

The bird duo is from the Love Letter stamp set,  I colored up the birds with Copic markers and cut them out with the matching dies, then used foam tape to adhere them on a branch stamped with an image from the Hello Sunshine set.  For the sentiment, I stamped a pair of the tiny speech bubbles from the Love Letter set and positioned them above the birds as if they were having a conversation.  The edges of the oval panel were inked with some blue distress oxide to soften the contrast between the image panel and the cardfront. 

After matting the image on a slightly larger silver oval, I adhered the panel to the cardfront that I covered with a light blue panel at the top and a slightly darker blue feathery/leafy patterned paper panel at the bottom.  A solid strip of blue cardstock hides the seam between the two panels.  I positioned a narrow strip of silver paper along the bottom edge of the cardfront to finish the design.
