Autumn Bird

Yaaaaaay! I'm over the moon to find out I made Top Addict at Addicted to Stamps, with my blossom branch through the frame, so a "Big Thank You" to their DT.

My card today is for three challenges


First, Addicted to Stamps want something
CAS   

Second, is  CAS Colours and Sketches  with these colours,


and lastly, Friday Mashup have this sketch and/or want us to use a 
                         NEW STAMP SET    

This is my card

                                                       
I've had this stamp set, Four Seasons, for a while, but not used it. I love the chubby birds in the centres of these designs, and so out it came today. (I think this is the Autumn Stamp judging by the acorns and leaves.)
I coloured the round design with my Write Markers, and layered it on the three Nesties. I then used the larger leaf in the set to create my own chevrons, and these were laid on some brown card cut with decorative scissors. I used an Ivory card as white seemed too harsh against the brown. What do you think?



Supplies :
Card = Choc Chip, Summer Starfruit, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, and Ivory base FMS
Stamps = Four Seasons and Tea Shoppe
Inks = Choc Chip, Summer Starfruit, and Crumb Cake
Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Stamp-a-ma-jig, and Fiskars Scissors

Thanks for dropping by, and I'll be back soon

  4. Nice job combining the challenges! I agree with you - sometimes ivory provides a much softer, nicer look than white. Thanks for sharing your card in this week's challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches.
