I love birds, but I have no idea what a vermillion looks like; probably not this! But I am combining a few challenges here today, so that’s why my bird looks the way he does! Here they are:
- The sketch challenge CFC15 and Fall to Layout 153, which is being shared by CAS-ual Fridays and Clean & Simple Stamping, shown here (I flipped the sketch as I didn’t like my bird looking off the edge of the page!):
- Little Red Wagon #93, to use a bird;
- and Stampin Royalty #84, which is this inspiration photo:
And here is my card:
Although I used several sets, I hope it still qualifies as CAS! The colors were a bit out of my comfort zone, but I tried to incorporate the ones in the photo! Thanks for visiting today!
Wee Details:
- Stamps: Young Vermillion, French Foliage, Fabulous Florets, Flight of the Butterfly (sentiment)
- Paper: Very Vanilla, Tempting Turquoise Patterns DP
- Ink: Memento Brown, Tempting Turquoise, Always Artichoke, More Mustard, River Rock, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede
- Acc: Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Linen Thread, Daubers, SAMJ, Aquapainter
WOW! What a beautiful card, and I love your coloring!
ReplyDeleteBoth little birdies are sweet! Have no clue what a vermillion is but you made him look terrific! And I have never seen the other little birdie in a sweatshirt - could fall really be on its way to PA??
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness she is reading already!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card1
I've no idea what the bird is supposed to look like either but I feel sure it would be thrilled with its make-over! I love the colours you've used along with the natural thread. And how nice to see your grandaughter doing a spot of light reading!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous coloring on the bird! Beautiful take on the sketch! Thanks SO much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what a vermilion looks like either! I think you did a wonderful job coloring this bird, and love the soft subtle background details.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with those challenges - you should WIN them all in my book!
ReplyDeleteYour little birdie is PERFECT!
LeAnne, I think you captured it perfectly. Even though there is so much detail on your card, it is still perfectly CAS. Absolutely love it! BTW... thanks for introducing me to a new challenge site.
