Stampin' D'Amour Weekly Challenge #50

Yippee ... I get to host another challenge over on the Stampin' D'Amour Message Board. This is challenge #50 and for this week, I'm asking the ladies to do a 2-part challenge;

first part - Make an ATC using "birds" as the theme

second part - Use that ATC as the main image on a full sized card.

For my ATC, the flower and sentiment are from an Inkadinkado clear set. The birds are from a SU set, (but for the life of me I can't figure out which set it is from ... if you know, please contact me so I can edit this post). I colored the birds using the new SU [In-Color] "pacific point" blue and the old SU [In-Color] "purely pomegranate", as well as "old olive". I did a background sky using "soft sky" ink with the ALA ART sky image stamp. The actual background is a scrap piece of Crafty Secrets (Radiant) designer paper trimmed out using a gold Pilot marker. The latice looking piece on the left side is Around the Block gold framing tape given to me by my good friend Tammy (stampertammy).

For my main card I used the same flower image and stamped it on the blue bayou using blue bayou ink ... added the gold organdy ribbon from Michaels ... punched out a few little birdies using the Martha Stewart bird punch I purchased at WalMart and Ta Dah ... card complete.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by ... hope to see you again real soon!!!
