The beautiful bird image is from Gecko Galz The Art of Nouveau Collage Sheet, and I mounted it on black cardstock. The fancy floral die is a Crafter's Companion Fancy Die'sire Edge'able. This die has been in my stash for a long time and this is the first time I've used it. The stitching along the edges of the turquoise strip is from MFT Die-namics Basic Stitched Lines. I stamped an Anniversary greeting and finished off the card with some black sequins.
I was inspired by the following 5 challenges:

You've achieved it here. The overall look pops! Great GG image, of course I have a dozen GG bird sheets but not this one, lol. That why she in biz I guess, lol.
