Default MAR13VSNMINI6 ~ Friday, February 1 ~ 10pm (EST) ~ Birds of a Feather...

Title : Birds of a Feather…
Hostess : Theresa (theelopers)
Keyword : MAR13VSNMINI6
Day/Date : Friday, February 1, 2013
Time : 10:00pm (EST)<O:p</O:p

Birds of a feather flock together! How many times have we heard that saying? We so often “flock” together with those we are comfortable with, share similar characteristics or interests with. <O:p</O:p

So here is my challenge: <O:p</O:p

You must “flock” together: TWO birds, THREE different embellishments and FOUR colors from this picture.<O:p</O:p

My sample below (2) love birds, (3) embellies [actually four-brads, ribbon, heart and micro beads on the heart], (4) colors [eggplant envy, gumball green, really red, melon mambo]. For some reason my colors look off. :(

VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE MAR13VSNMINI6.

UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON Monday Feb 4th (for the mini) and Mar 4th (for the main).
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. We have a special gallery for the Birds, Bees & Creepy Crawlies VSN. When you click on Member Galleries to access the drop-down list, either scroll to the very bottom of the list (or just hit the End key which will take you straight there), and upload to that gallery .
4. Please remember to put in the correct keyword MAR13VSNMINI6 when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.

It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure your layout is seen. Thanks so much for playing along!!<O:p</O:p

At first, this challenge was a little overwhelming. I hope lots of people try it, because once you get the right frame of mind, it all comes together.

Colour challenges scare me, and I'm not too happy with this but I did get everything in. And I LOVED the inspiration photo.

I used In-Color DSP to create 3 of the 4 colors and then used Cherry Cobbler. It took awhile to figure out what I would do for this challenge but in the end, I really liked how it turned out. Thanks for the challenge, Theresa!

Let's see, 2 birds, 3 embellys, 4 colors, gotcha! It came together in ten minutes including digging around for my seagull stamp. I never would have dreamed it, it sounded so difficult. thanks for encouraging us.

Fun challenge- the colors did stump me so I went with multi-colored background paper. Here's my take
