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!

Emzi, 5 punchez and beaded lace trim - YUMMO!! You can't go wrong with all that working for you and that cute lil' Michael's birdie that I'm so jealous of! AND, OMG, Benzi will die when she sees that stitching. We both love stitching and are on a race to see who gets an operational sewing machine 1st. So far, I'm only faux stitching!! You did an INCREDIBLE JOB!! TFS!

You make this birdie look GOOD - and it is perfect for paper piecing (say that 10 times fast, LOL!) and you do a great job at it. I like the music note paper and the beaded trim.
