Hope you’re having a good weekend! I’ve been busy busy, but I had to take a few minutes out to create a super quick card for Kristina’s Color Challenge #54 — it’s been kicking around in my noggin all week. Do you ever have that feeling where you get an idea and you just HAVE to stamp it?
Anyhow, here are the challenge colors — so yummy!
And, here’s my card! The idea I had was that this birdie was about the same shape as this QuicKutz one that I cut with my Silhouette — so I thought I’d put her over one of the squares for a “one of a kind” theme:
And, here’s the inside! I wanted to keep it kinda simple since it’s for J. Reads “J, our love is one of a kind, heart L”.
Supplies: Bird, plaid background + message by Hero Arts, white Inksentials pen by Ranger, sparkle embossing powder, square border by QuicKutz, (I cut the green heart by hand), Cuttlebug branch embossing folder (for the green heart) colored pencils, and cardstock.
Okay, off to go give this to him and eat dinner — homemade spaghetti sauce, one of our faveorites. YUM!
Oh! But first I thought I’d give you a tip. To make the dashed lines around the edges, I just put repositionable adhesive on the inside blue piece and traced around it.
Updated with a quote from J: “That’s awesome hon! Love you!”
Enjoy the rest of the weekend,
these colors are really neat together. i would have never thought about putting them together.
Very cute card! I love it!
So cute! I love the little birdie and all the faux stitching. Thanks for all the great tips from the challenges! I hope that one day, my pictures can look as good as yours! :)
Cute card. Love that die cut. Hope you had a great weekend.
Love, MOM

Hi Lisa, I love this!!! I love that you used your Silhouette. I’m so excited since I won the HA grand prize yesterday! I can hardly wait to play with a Silhouette.

This is cool!! It reminds me of those cute little games and the little bird is finding his way!! THen inside!! WOW!
Well done :)
love your card, the crazy colours on the birdies tail are great!
And yes, I do get ideas that I just have to commit to card – they’re usually my craziest! Some work, but some end up just not being worth the effort, but if I hadn’t gone ahead and made the card then I would always be wondering about it…
I love this card and most especially LOVE J’s comment to it! I wouldn’t get that much out of my husb. he kind of doesnt get the whole card making thing ; )
