Colorful Celebrate

I combined today's sketch challenge on SCS with Kristina's latest color challenge and today's 12 Days of Christmas challenge on Paper Craft Planet (today is day 6=6 geese a laying, so it calls for projects with birds or eggs). There are lots of colors going on here--Pumpkin Pie, Taken with Teal, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White. I managed to get them all in on one relatively small tag punch!

I used one of the bird images from SU!'s A Little Birdie Told Me set as the main image. I paper pieced the bird's body. The hat was stamped separately on a scrap of white paper and colored with markers, then embellished with some Stickles. I stamped just part of the "it's time to celebrate!" sentiment on the tag, alongside the bird. I layered the tag on a piece of Certainly Celery cardstock, then trimmed around it to create the tag shape. The straight edges made it easy to do.

I used a piece of polka dotted Pumpkin Pie paper from the Summer Picnic paper pack for the panels on the cardfront. I layered each strip on a Chocolate Chip mat. I placed a strip of teal satin ribbon from the top of the card to the center of the bottom panel. I set the tag on the cardfront using dimensionals, then used a glue dot to attach a bow just above the tag. Cute and quick!
