Rhode Island Red?

My blog usually is all about SU!, but today I have to share this card. Stamps by High Hopes Rubber Stamps......fun to make!

This card is for the Color Challenge CC132 on SCS. It is also to send to a young girl named Victoria who has cancer for a card campaign her teacher started...hopefully my middle-aged/childish humor will be a little bit funny to her. Here's a link to Courtney's blog if you'd like to send a card to Victoria: http://createdbycourtney.blogspot.com/

Favorite Set and Favorite Colors

Blue Bayou and Soft Sky are definitely favorites of mine....and this little bird-yep, love her too! I like the blues with Mellow Moss as well. This idea grew from my card for the CC130 for which the colors were Groovy Guava and Always Artichoke. The watercolored leaves on this card are artichoke and the bluebird's breast is Groovy Guava.

Today's Inspiration Challenge

We were to be inspired today by a beaded purse for IC91 on SCS. Here is a link:http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=282839

This card was simple, quick and fun! I like the depth in the sky areas which was done using the sponge daubers and gold encore/metallic ink after the gold embossing. I had no idea what I was doing-love those happy accidents!
