I had a little crafty time yesterday so pulled together a clean and simple card for a few current challenges:
There is a great layout over at AAA Cards and at Colour Inkspiration they are celebrating the retiring 2023-25 In Colours. I actually managed to use all 5 on my card - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
The 2023-25 In Colours are a tricky bunch to use together I think; I have some favourites in the mix - Boho Blue - and some that I won't be so sorry to see leave us (I'm talking to you, Wild Wheat!), so on perusing the shelves of stamps that are retiring too, I settled on A Bird's Eye View and set to work. I added a couple of birds to my leafy branch and coloured them using my Stampin' Blends, then masked off a circle and stencilled in some clouds using a stencil and blending brush (perfect for the stencil challenge over at CAS on Friday this week too):
Finally, I'm also linking today's card up over at The Alphabet Challenge Blog where they are on 'A is for Alphabet' and we can choose a letter and theme of our choice - I am of course choosing 'B for Birds'.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:
You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any.
Would you believe in the time it took me to make my card and write this post, 'A Bird's Eye View' is out of stock and has been discontinued here in the UK. This serves as a timely reminder that for those things on the Last Chance List are only available whilst stocks last. Enjoy your evening and I'll be back Sunday with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
