CCMC507 Flying Home

We have a color challenge this time on Create with Connie and Mary!  I decided to use my Flying Home stamp set again on my card…soon it will be retired and I’ll need to put it away!  It is another one that I may keep…love the birdhouse and the bird’s nest in it!  We have some Blue Jays in our back yard…love to see their bright blue color in the trees!

Here’s what I designed:

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• The top portion of the 4 x 5-1/4 Island Indigo cardstock is embossed with the Seaside Embossing Folder and the bottom portion has a 2-1/4 x 4 piece of Coffee Break Designer Paper added.
• A piece of White Metallic Edge Ribbon hides the seam.
• A 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 banner of Crumb Cake was added down the front and cut with a flag end.
• The nest image from Flying Home Stamp Set was stamped with Archival Black on Whisper White and cut with the Layering Oval Framelit.  It was watercolored with Island Indigo, Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Crushed Curry Markers and the AquaPainter.

OK..check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did over on Create with Connie and Mary this week!  As always, some fabulous designs!
