Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

Thanks for joining me for another great blog hop. This one is a color inspiration. I love challenges with colors that I often don't use in my creations. This challenge did just that. I really only use one of the colors and it is usually used with other bright colors. This combination really challenged me. I hope you like what I can come up. 


The only color I use on a regular basis is bermuda bay. So combining the other two colors had me thinking on my toes. In the end, I think I like it. (LOL)  I opened the stamp cabinet and looked at all my stamps to see which one was going to be the lucky one to see daylight today. The Birds and Branches set was the one that jumped out at me and said that I needed to use it. 


I decided the birds were going to be bermuda bay, the nest and branches were going to be cajun craze (because I saw it as a brownish color) and the merry merlot was going to be some corner flowers and the greeting. 

In order to get some variations in color, I simply stamped off on scrap paper to get a lighter shade of the cajun craze and the bermuda bay. If you only have a few colors, this is a perfect way to get more colors quickly. 

The birds and flowers were stamped on scrap paper and then cut out. Of course they were attached to the card with dimensionals. To finish it off, I used the blue adhesive backed gems for the center of the flower and the birds eyes. Although, I didn't want to leave them blue for the eyes, so I got out the Cajun Craze Stampin' Blend to color the eyes.
