Red Bird of Happiness

This week's color combination at the Create with Connie & Mary challenge blog is out of my wheelhouse--and that's what makes it a challenge! I kept wanting to pull out Crumb Cake and Pool Party. I really need to read directions a bit more closely!

CCMC348

I started with a Soft Sky panel and stamped the Woodgrain Background stamp in Sahara Sand. I didn't know quite how I was going to get the branch and the bird on the card, so I just stamped them onto a scrap of Very Vanilla--and they turned out so wonderfully--the bird was placed exactly where I wanted it and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to recreate that. So I decided to go with it. I tore a corner off the Woodgrain panel and adhered it over the Very Vanilla piece.

I adhered the main piece onto a Sahara Sand panel and then onto a Soft Sky card base. I stamped the sentiment in Rose Red onto another Very Vanilla scrap and then punched it out with the Large Oval Punch. I love it when a design comes together by accident!

    I love it when a design comes together by accident too, and this is a great one! The section that is torn away to reveal the bird and branch is really clever! I will be CASE-ing that idea! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!

    I really like how you 'tore out' part of your wood panel to show the bird behind it. The Sahara Sand looks so good on the Soft Sky to create the wood panel! Thanks for playing along this week in the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
