Chris really challenged me this week. I could not decide what to do and after much thought I landed on this die set.
I knew I'd need to use some neutrals but they're allowed so I'm good there. However, I also planned to use white DSP with Petal Pink dots. When I got out my paper it turns out the paper is pink with white dots! No big deal, except that after putting all this petal pink on this card I've discovered it is NOT my favorite pink. I would have preferred if I had used another color dots or embossed them instead.
Oh well - next time.
I hope you will join us in the challenge this week. I'm looking forward to seeing all your creations so I can be inspired to use Petal Pink!

Sweet birdie with her birdhouse. Love the shutters with the tiny hearts. Fabulous design with the tag and curved edge. Terrific inspiration with the challenge colors.

Jeanne, this so adorable. I love the layout you used with the pretty layer of polka dot paper. The tall birdhouse placement is perfect with the leaves and it left the perfect amount of space for your sentiment tag.

This is such a nice layout with that darling birdhouse set off-center, leaving white space and room for the greeting tag. That's not my favorite pink, either, but you used it very well!

Well, I like the DS paper just as it is--kinda reminds me of snow! Don't you love Vicky's birdhouse collection? I sure do! And I love how you used it to make this sweet fall birdhouse!
