It's the start of a new month of challenges over at the CAS Colours and Sketches blog where I am the host for February. This can be a dreary month, even in sunny Florida, so I thought I'd start out with a bright color trio.
For our color challenges, you must use all of the stated challenge colors. You may also use neutral colors;
however, the challenge colors should be the most noticeable ones featured on your card.
We use Stampin' Up color names for reference, but you are welcome to use any other companies'
products as long as you match the challenge colors as closely as possible.
Continuing my current fascination with bird images I created another wintery birthday card using a darling set from MFT stamps.
I began by stamping, Copic coloring and die cutting out three bird images as well as two branch images. I took advantage of the neutral color option with the addition of the creams/browns I used for my birds. I stamped the faint diamond pattern onto a white card panel using a light beige dye ink. After determining the placement of my feathered tweeters, I stamped the sentiment in a brown pigment ink and then adhered the birds and branches to the card panel. I adhered the panel to a card base created from heavy woodgrain cardstock and true to form, finished it off with two sets of three clear droplets. This card will have left my possession long before this post goes live. :-)
Supplies:
MFT Winter Songbird stamp set
PaperTrey Ink - Cover Up Diamonds stamp set
Ellen Hutson - woodgrain cardstock
Ellen Hutson - clear droplets
I invite you to check out the wonderful inspiration that our designers have for you this week and hope to see your card in our gallery!
It's a New Year! Continue to stay safe and healthy my friends.

Julie your trio of birdies are so cosy in their co-ordinating accessories - so 'tweet'! Love the subtle background stamped detail too.
ReplyDeleteJulie this is wonderful! You really challenged me this week and I almost used those exact same birds. I went a different direction, but I love your card and now wish I had used them. They show off the colors beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI loved it on IG last evening, but this morning? They really are singing my song! Just fantastic, Julie!
