For today's Color Challenge, CC265, to use Certainly Celery, Tempting Turquoise, and Soft Suede, along with neutrals of choice.
I found some DP in a My Mind's Eye stack (Magnolia) with colors that approximate certainly celery and tempting turquoise. Luckily I had a bit of SU soft suede DSP that I could use (thanks to Pam, aka Bailmac here on SCS!).
I'm still working on a set of note cards to give my flute-playing sister as a hostess gift when we visit in less than two weeks. This is #3 of 4 in the set I've been making with this $1 bird stamp from Michael's. So fun to paper piece!!
I made the panel on the right by layering scallop-punched clippings (inspired by Dawn McVey) from an old hymnal, with alternating layers sponged with burnt umber. The pearl-beaded lace trim was a remnant (just the right length!) from my sewing scraps.
PUNCHEZ tally: 5, including my Creative Memories circle cutters
Thanks for stopping by!

This is so pretty and definitely my favorite challenge card of the day. I like how it has a wee bit of a collage look-but orderly. Love the lace remnant and the use of the old hymnal. I really like when musical scores are used on cards. And of course, I am crazy about the bird...Lastly, great layout, too! Oh, one more thing. Nice soft suede

WOW !, Emily this is fabulous, I love all the little details, love the layers of scalloped borders with the music notes, very cool, but also love the stitching, down to the little button on the corner, wonderfully done, TFS

You do rock this little "cheep" bird, Em! I love all the different papers you used, and still managed to stay in the color challenge. The Soft Suede dp for the bird is a perfect touch!
