hi there! I was waiting for my new microwave to be delivered today, so I had time to get my colourQ challenge done for this week! Woot woot! I hope YOU can come over and play these fun colors this week! Isn't that a fab chair in the inspiration pic? These colors wouldn't really work in my house, but I LOVE that fabric!! SO fun & cute :)
here's the palette:

So, this card is a bit of a departure for me, I created a little scene with these little felt birdies (they were in the package from Kara, aren't they "tweet?" Ok, ok, corny, I know... ;) I made the birds some spindly little legs to stand on. I made the middle bird bending one leg like a flamingo :)
I opened my previously unopened package of mini glassine envelopes and found an old Christmas tag that fit well in there, I flipped it over to the back side & stamped my birdcage in Wisteria ink and sentiment in brown ink onto it. I threaded some black ribbon through the hole in the top & tied it at the top with a chocolate brown button and some green baker's twine.
The card is "built" on a Pear Pizzaz card base and a black mat. The DP is from a mat stack and has some little whimsical birds printed all over it. It was the PERFECT match to Wisteria Wonder, even though it's not SU!
I got a new filing cabinet in my studio the other day (pics to come soon!) and when cleaning out all the old filing boxes that I used to keep my letter sized cardstock in, I found this cool "puffy" paper. I forgot I had this & hadn't used it in awhile. It's a specialty paper, almost a fabric coating of this fuzzy stuff, really fun! I die cut some clouds out of a corner of it & that was the last thing I added. Like with all specialty papers (glittered, cork, etc.) I cut it from the BACKSIDE to ensure a clean cut.
Well that's it for today! I keep teasing you with this and not getting the pics taken... BUT I have a very fun, inexpensive home improvement project I recently completed. I'll try to share tomorrow. :) Have a great one! :)
hugs, Noelle
