Teapot Tuesday is using the word CARE. C = Circle, A = Aviary (bird), R = Ribbon, and E = Emboss. I used the colors for this week's color challenge. I had this piece of Crushed Curry embossed for quite a while so I wanted to use it. This is the third idea I started for this card. I thought a bird went well with the leaves, than decided to use a bird die. The Iconic Dies have the bird and branch to place the bird on. I kept changing my mind about the color of the bird, as I cut three of them; I will save the Pecan Pie one for another time.
I placed my layers on a white card base, then I
could see a bit of white after trimming, so I picked up a marker. I have a marker named Pecan and it is a very close match to the Pecan Pie paper, so I covered the white with the Pecan marker. It got too much and bled onto the Pecan Pie paper, so I continued to add it all around. It bled onto the Crumb Cake, so I then took another marker, Chamois, which is a close match to Crumb cake. They now look a bit blotchy in the photo, but are find as they dry. I need to embrace the errors and let it go. I think Marcia will appreciate the card, errors and all.

this card is awesome. At first glance, I thought the 'circle with stripes' was inside the embossed mat, but then realized it was put in place over the mat. Great bird on branch die... superb job. Thank you for sending a card to Marcia.

Lisa, I just love all the textures in your card, the embossing, ribbon and striped circle with the bird. Remember Lisa, errors create some of the most wonderful pieces. and your card is wonderful.
