I tried to mix too many challenges together today. It didn't go so well. I didn't have time to do the MIX challenge yesterday, so here is my card with two or more colors, layers, and media. Plus, it's a baby girl card. I thought it would be fun to try TLC78 for this one, which was pastel embossing. But of course the pastels weren't going to stay on the embossing. I really just made a mess of my background.
Happy 700th Inspiration Challenge! But that website is a joke right? I mean I couldn't believe how far I had to scroll before I found someone whose favorite color is orange. And I've never heard anyone tell me their favorite color is black. Anyway, I found this to inspire my background and this inspired my buttons. This cute digi that was a freebie on the Newton's Nook blog was next on my list of images to use.

Ha! Maybe there were a lot of goth lovers on the site! I do love the elegance of black but I don't guess I would say it is my favorite! Favorite accent maybe but... Anyway, your card is fabulous! What a sweet baby card! The buttons on the corners are fun and that bird, oh my!

Sorry about that orange business...ha But, you did make an adorable baby card...love the little birdie with the balloon. I must say black is not my fave color but it does come in handy. :-)

Your white on green is beautifully embossed - I know from experience how hard white on dark can be!! I like the addition of the buttons from your inspiration tacking the corners.

I love your beautiful white embossing and pretty baby card!! I scrolled from top to bottom and was surprised too to see how many love black!! I like black base for a card, or black and white, but no it isn't my favorite color neither, Your little birdie is very cute bringing the news about the new born baby, fun to use the buttons too!

oh how adorable! I love your pastel bg...that floral dp is gorgeous. And the combination of buttons, squares and uber cute bird make this precious. Well done.
I agree with you and navigation on the site.
