Color Challenge - CC911 - Soft Sweet Flamingoes - August 30, 2022
and
Ways To Use It Challenge - WT912 - Paper Piercing - September 1, 2022
I have the day off today and am so happy to have extra card making time! I combined two challenges for this card, and surprisingly did not use any stamps or any ink.
For the color challenge, I used all three called for colors, with one substitution on the darker pinkish color. I was able to incorporate the dessert option of embossing by using a heart embossing folder to tie in with the heart-shaped wing of the bird. I used the debossed side of the paper.
For the paper piercing challenge, I let the die do the work for me. I used a small gem for the bird's eye, and I used a small piece of the sea foam color to show through for the dots of the wing.
I started with a sea foam layer as the background, and then added the debossed darker pinkish color on top. I die cut the Hello word and the pierced bird and layered these on top of the background.
As a bit of humor on this Friday afternoon, "sea foam" is two words. If you type it as one word, the auto-correct changes it to "seafood"! Glad I caught that before I published this, since I don't think anyone wants to use seafood colored cardstock!!

Nicely done with no inks & stamps. Terrific use of the challenge colors. I like the heart embossed background and the cute birdie. The big hello looks good, too.
