I'm delighted to be a guest designer for the color challenge this month! The first challenge I ever did on SCS was this one....it's a fun one and does challenge me to think outside my usual box. So when I got a PM from Mary asking me to join the team, I answered with a big YES!! Thank you so much for thinking of me.
When I saw the colors for this week and the dessert I immediately thought of this stamp set from Character Constructions....It's a spring theme and I thought the pink and blue colors would go great. The white frame on this is the negative portion of a romantic rectangles die from Spellbinders. The blue dp is actually some stationery..it's part of a letter that my sister sent me..I loved the paper and thought..hmm, this would look great on a card..or wall hanging in this example.The seam binding is dyed to match the blue. I stamped around the edge with a branch and bird stamp using versamark. I hope you like it!

Your wall hanging is so FABULOUS Polly!!! So many gorgeous details!!! So cool how you used the negative of the RR die to make a frame! LOVE that fancy tag with the beautiful doily behind! Your little birdie is ADORABLE in what must be her Sunday best! Love it all (the little spring tag too!)!!!

Such a pretty wall hanging and extra special that you included a part of your sister's letter, Polly. I love the tiny hanger and the bird in the dress made me smile!

What a stunning project- it looks like something straight out of the pages of a Stampington magazine! Using part of a letter from your sister adds such a personal touch too. Glad to be a co-guest with you this month!
