Mary is our hostess this week in the Color Challenge, and she is using one of the new In Colors from Stampin' Up. Flirty Flamingo is a bright, yet pastel, coral color. She has paired it with Mint Macaron and Night of Navy. The dessert option is to use a die cut on your card.
You know how sometimes you make an impulse purchase, put the item away and then forget you have it? Me, too! I came across this pretty bird cage die from Poppy Stamps in my stash. I have no recollection of when I bought this, or why, but this week was the perfect opportunity to give it some love!
I punched flowers and die cut the bird cage, bird and leaves. Sponged the flowers and leaves and coated the flowers with a Spica clear glitter pen. All are mounted on a piece of Irresistibly Floral cardstock that I sponged with Flirty Flamingo ink. Topped the cage with a little bow, put a pearl in the center of each flower, and covered the cage with Wink of Stella. Mounted it all on a Night of Navy card base.

Smiling here....from the comments we all can relate to those purchases. You did make a stunning card with your new find.....love the contrast of the blue bird against the other colors. Very striking. TFS
