CCMC222 – For the Birds

October 11, 2012 By Connie | 8 Comments

Today's challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary is a color challenge!  You have to check out what the Design Team did with the color challenge…from everyday…to fall…to the holidays!  It is amazing how differently we interpreted it!  AND…stay tuned!  Mary and I will have an exciting announcement next week…we can't WAIT to share it!

 

 

I've been determined to use my For the Birds stamp set…I think the images are so cute and I've only used the Christmas one before.  So…I sat down and made up a few challenges using it!  You'll be seeing them over the next few weeks!

 

 

This came together with a crisp and clean look!

 

  1. The bird was stamped with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink on Very Vanilla, then cut with the smallest Labels Framelit.
  2. I watercolored with Summer Starfruit and Gumball green markers and my AquaPainter.  The next, I just ran the AquaPainter over the Chocolate Chip stamped ink to make it bleed and color slightly.
  3. I cut another Labels Framelit the next size larger from Summer Starfruit and pierced around it with the Festive Piercing Pack.
  4. The base card is Very Vanilla and I layered a strip of Comfort Cafe Designer Paper on front.
  5. I added a strip of Gumball Green stamped with Happy Birthday from Wackiest Birthday Wishes in Chocolate Chip Ink, and cut with a flag end.
  6. I then trimmed out the bottom with the Dotted Scallop RIbbon Border of Chocolate Chip.
  7. Finally, I added a bow of Very Vanilla Seam Binding.

 

Soooo, cute, I think!  Again, make sure to check out the variety from the Challenge Team…amazing…over on Create with Connie and Mary!  Then grab your stamps and play along with our color challenge!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    These snowfolk could even be siblings, perhaps dressed for our projected wintery Halloween.  Thanks for sharing your wonderful preview to entice us.  I timed out on a prior, very long message, so have shortened this.
