It's the last Color Challenge before Christmas, and I have the pleasure of being your hostess this week. The colors I've picked are Pool Party, Very Vanilla and Pretty Peacock. The dessert option is Ribbon.
I must admit I was thinking about the elements I still had available from this older kit when I picked these colors. But I also wanted a chance to use my little bird dies again.
I cut the birds from three colors of cardstock and then mixed and matched elements to give each bird her own unique character. Added ribbon and a greeting, and it was finished!
I hope your holiday preparations are almost done and that you can fine a few minutes to join us in the gallery this week. I'll be looking for your card!
Paper: Primitive Cream (MFT), Pretty Peacock, Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Chocolate Chip
Paper Size: A2
Accessories: From Paper Pumpkin kit May 2019, printed card, Pretty Peacock velvet ribbon. Sweet Birds on a Branch Dies (Vicky Papaioannou/Spellbinders), Fancy Words dies (Reverse Confetti)
