On the Color Throwdown team, we pick out our colors combos for each week as far in advance as possible so that anyone who wants to work ahead can do so. So I actually chose the colors for today's challenge about 2-3 weeks ago. Imagine my surprise when I check out the Color Challenge on SCS yesterday and saw how similar they were! Emily and I must be on the same wavelength or something! Since I already had some Kiwi Kiss and Tangerine Tango papers laying out, and had thought about using this flowered paper on my Throwdown card I decided to do the SCS Sketch Challenge today and make a quick card!
I'm pleased with how it turned out, but I think it's missing something. I should have done a row of piercing across the top or added some dew drops or something! Maybe I should just make my watermark darker across the top, then no one will notice that lonely space! LOL
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
Stamps: The Landing Pad, Pretty Birds (Kim Hughes collection for Cornish Heritage Farms)
Cardstock: Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss (Stampin' Up!), Mocha Divine (Bazzill), designer paper (Fancy Pants)
Inks: Momento Rich Cocoa (Tsukineko), markers to color bird (Copic)
Accessories: Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls embossing folder (ProvoCraft), Nestabilities die-cut label (Spellbinders), olive brads, Kiwi Kiss ribbon (Stampin' Up!)
Very cute! I love the distressed patterned paper & the little orange birdie.
