Color Chef Mojo Birthday Card

I combined challenges again today, using this week's Mojo Monday sketch and Color Chef Challenge 2. The colors for the challenge are White Daisy, Sorbet and Tulip. This was actually a pretty tough color combination for me, I watched a 2+ hour movie while working on this, and the movie ended before the card was finished (it was P.S. I Love You, by the way). I decided to make a birthday card for a friend who has a birthday next month. I used all CTMH products on this card. Paper used was cardstock in White Daisy, Sorbet, and Tulip, and Background & Texture papers from Key To My Heart (sadly, no longer available) and Perfect Day. Stamp sets used were Bird Basics and For Every Occasion. Scalloped edge was cut with Threading Water punch. Sentiment was stamped in Tulip ink. The bird was stamped on the B&T paper in Versamark then heat embossed with clear embossing powder and cut out. The wing and tail were stamped in Tulip ink on Sorbet cardstock. The tail was mounted with 3D Foam Mounting Squares for added dimension, and the eye is a Bitty Brad in black.

Easter Thank You Card

Yesterday K was pleasantly surprised to receive an Easter card from his grandfather in the mail. He absolutely LOVES getting mail. It was even better when he opened it to find a gift card inside. So, we needed a thank you card. I combined three challenges for this card, Card Patterns CP Sketch #9 (which I had to modify slightly because of the size of the eggs), Our Creative Corner OCC Challenge (Use your favorite Easter stamp) and the inaugural Color Chef Challenge. I used all CTMH products for this card. Cardstock colors are Sweet Leaf, Breeze (unfortunately now retired) and White Daisy. Sweet Leaf ricrac ribbon is from the Designer Ricrac Collection, stamps sets used are For Every Occasion and Easter Eggs. Inks used are Sweet Leaf and Breeze. Tools used were Marvy Uchida punches (for the scalloped ovals) and CM corner rounder (probably one of the first two scrapbooking tools I ever owned, so it is pushing twelve years old). I sincerely hope that this doesn't just end up in a trash can. But, I'm sure K will write an adorable thank you that his grandfather will want to keep.
