Creative Colour Challenges #CCC186

Good Evening Everyone,

I run the Creative Colour Challenges blog. Each week three Stampin Up Colours are randomly selected and I ask you to create a projects using those colours! Some week's are easier than others - but what I do find is that there's a lot of inspiration given from those who participate, so I thought that on a Sunday, once I have announced the Winner of the Week's Challenge over on Creative Colour Challenges Blog, I'd hop on over here and share the entries with you in the hope that we can give everyone some more inspiration, and I will link to those I can (as anyone can enter, you don't have to have a blog or a website), so It's also my chance to share there work and show some support.

Country Birdhouses Happy Birthday Card. Creative Colour Challenges #CCC183

 Good Evening Everyone,

Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Creative Colour Challenges combination #183. I managed to enter it into the challenge, but didn't have time to share it with you all.

The colours we had were Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Blueberry Bushel. I used these alongside the Country Birdhouses stamp set to create a really cute birthday card. What do you think?

Measurements

Blueberry Bushel

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

Basic White Card Stock

2pc - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

scraps

------------------------------------

Take the Blueberry Bushel card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base - adding one of the Basic White pieces to the inside.

Ink up the Birdhouse image in Memento ink and stamp into the centre of the remaining piece of Basic White. Add the sentiments above and below this image.

On scraps of Basic White stamp the Bird image and a selection of the flowers, again in memento ink.

Now colour in all the images. I used my Stampin Blends in Pumpkin Pie and Blueberry Bushel, but as we don't have a Crushed Curry one, I used my Blender Pen and picked up some colour directly from the ink pad. 

Once all the flowers and bird are coloured either fussy cut or use the coordinating dies and your Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine.

Add the birdhouse panel to the card front, then using both dimensionals and liquid glue stick on the bird and flowers.

Finally, take a length of the Gingham ribbon and the Pumpkin Pie Light Blends and colour this piece front and back - making sure you get good and even coverage. Now tie this into a pretty bow, trim the tails and them adhere to the top of the birdhouse with a glue dot.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today! If you would like to take a look at the current Creative Colour Challenges Combination - head over to my blog - https://creativecolourchallenges.blogspot.com/
