Happy New Year! The Color Challenge Team is back with a year of beautiful color combinations for you to enjoy! Let's start off with a lovely palette from Chris this week. She has chosen Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, and Granny Apple Green. The dessert option is to add any shade of blue.
I have this habit of waiting to buy a stamp set until I see how others have used it. By the time I decide to buy, it's usually the end of the season. That's what happened with this set, which I bought almost a year ago and am using this week for the first time. I adore these cute little winter birds!
I stamped the birds and the foliage with Copic-friendly ink, then let my Scan 'n Cut cut them all out. Once everything was cut out, I colored with Copic markers, die cut the blue layer, and attached everything with glue and/or foam tape. Added a few sequins, and called it done!
Chris has given us such a beautiful color combination this week; I hope you'll find time to create with it!

Well, your cute birds waited a long time to make an appearance but they have done it in high style. I love how you used this weeks colors against that beautiful card base. The touches of foliage are just the right accent to give each birdie his spotlight. Adorable card.

Sweet slimline card, Barbara. Your little songbirds look fabulous with their winter clothes in the challenge colors. The foliage finished your card perfectly.
