Some color for your week...

Sunday, October 14, 2012

Ahhh,...Sunday!!  I'm hoping this will indeed be a day of rest, and I'm hoping it finds you winding down a great weekend!  It's time to color your week with the Creative Paper Trade color challenge...


Lots of possibilities here!  I was inspired by some prints and images on some Simple Stories papers and stickers I picked up a couple weeks ago.  There are several different variations of a sweet little bird on a branch, leafed out in a hodge-podge of cute little prints and fall colors.  I re-created my own version of it for my card front, adding a little texture in the colors of our color challenge...



The little bird I've used is one of the many stickers on the SS sticker page I purchased.  He fit in just right with our colors.


The subtle gray print in the background is one of the pretty digi papers Andrea designed.  My gray Copic marker worked great with it for the branch.  After adding the leaves and bird to the branch, I thought the little cloud and sun were the perfect finishing touch.  I was a little worried when I saw these colors, but I really love the way they work together!  I would love to see what you come up with them!  You have two weeks to "git 'er done"!  No special products necessary...just have fun, create, and share with the rest of us!  If you've been following along with the Creative Paper Trade, you know we'll introduce 2 more challenges this week...you may use any or all of the challenges in your creations during this new round.  There's always a sweet little prize up for grabs for a lucky entrant when the two weeks is up...

Andrea will have some additional inspiration today at the main blog, so be sure to check in there!  Hope to see you later in the week!!
