Hi friends! It's Wednesday which means I'm here to share my Color Throwdown card!! Bar is our fab hostess who chose this stunning palette.
I didn't realize it until I uploaded my card, but apparently I channeled my card from two weeks ago when I was getting crafty! I kept thinking something felt familiar, but I dismissed it and kept right on going. Oh well...I love the colors and I adore this paper I recolored to fit the challenge palette (MTME Fresh Cut Expressions - Collection 2). I also used a sheet from my Romance pack and recolored a sheet from my Cheerful Musical Magic pack. My sentiment is from the MTME So Sentimental stamp set.
My bird, sentiment panel, round layer, and branch are all cut files (Branching Out, A Little Birdie, Framed Elegance, and What's My Fortune? Cookie). I ran my Poppy marker around the edge of my bird and also dotted her eye. I did the same for my sentiment panel. The vellum layer is dry embossed, and I added some cool, dark brown hemp twine to show off my button. The ribbon layer is the same as the layer on my card two weeks ago (of course). That lace trim just sings to me every time I get busy in my craft room!
My layout was inspired by Chupa's Sketchbook Saturday challenge #32...which was inspired by a card our guest designer, the talented Ms. Amy sheffer created not long ago.
That's pretty much all there was to my card (other than a BUNCH of dimensional tape)...but be sure to check out our new DT! You'll find a LOT more inspiration each week with our awesome designers ;]
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful, short week ;]

Beautiful card, Kristin! I LOVE how you work vellum into your designs so well!
Love your little red "songbird" nestled in with the chocolate leaves! Great way to use vellum...not sure why I don't use it more because I love the softness it adds to a card!
