Tweet Hi

Here’s my card for this week’s Our Craft Lounge color challenge—blue, yellow, and a neutral. I went on the soft and pale side with my card, using one of the bird images from the Tweet Thang set in a simple scene.

Even though my card is simple, I managed to add lots of interest by using different textures in my design. The bird is stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I put some Sparkly Fluff on its belly for a fluffy look.

The bird is the centerpiece of a simple scene, assembled on pale blue dotted patterned paper. I used a dimensional dot to set the bird on the set's log, stamped on a piece of cork. The word "hi" is stamped near the bird's mouth like it just tweeted the greeting. I finished the scene with a big die cut cloud, covered with Sugar Sparkly Fluff (I said I'd do this again!) and a button sun, tied with a piece of yellow glimmer ribbon. The panel is edged with a scallop edged strip and set on a pale yellow card base.
