Speedy the Cat Challenge

I really liked the sketch this week at Speedy the Cat's Challenge and was inspired to make this card which features stamps from Repeat Impressions. I stamped the Crowned Crane on patterned paper- isn't it neat how the positive and negative of the image show on this patterned paper? The middle piece is embossed with a SU folder and the edge punch is from ek success. I cut out the oval with my nesties and embossed, then sponged with a very light blue while still in the die. Six blue-grey pearls complete the card.
