Congrats!

 

The Color Throwdown is celebrating their 100th challenge with a huge party and a long list of fabulous prizes!   Here's my card for this challenge:

            

Congrats, Color Throwdown!

My DP had all the colors I needed but I didn't want to rely on that alone so I hunted high and low for the right embellie.  Everything was too big until I saw these cute little rub-on images.  The flower and leaves were the right colors but the bird was clear.  I colored it pinkish and wahlah, I had the color combo! 

What's that?  My little birdie just told me she wants some attention, too!   She wants to be entered in the Charisma Cardz Challenge, Week 27 - Watch the Birdie, so there she flew!

The recipe:

Stamp:  Tiddly Inks Digi, Send Me A Sign Bugg

Paper:  Basic Grey, Lollipop Shoppe

Ink:  Copic Markers, Distress Ink

Other:  Nestabilities; Rub-On sentiment, flower and bird; Ribbon; Pop Dots

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!

Criss-Cross Pocket Card

Hello friends!  Hope you had a fabulous 4th of July weekend.

I always wanted to make a criss-cross pocket card and since this was the challenge at Just Magnolia Challenge Blog, it was the perfect time to give it a try.   See Jeanette's video here for the details.

The Nestabilities die cut was extended off the top edge so the insert could be pulled out easily.  

The sentiment on the pocket is a stamp and the sentiment on the insert is a rub on.  Opps, just noticed the font is different.  :(    oh well....  The CS for the insert looked too plain so I got a border stamp and stamped the edges with the VersaMark watermark ink.  It came out darker than I wanted--another, oh well... lol    The leaves were originally green but the color was too contrasting so I changed it by using mauve mulberry paper instead.
