Hi Stampers,

I'm here with this week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This time we had a color challenge…

The Colors for this Challenge, Poppy Parade, So Saffron, and Basic Gray usually make me think of masculine cards but I though it would be fun to play with them as a bright spring type card.  2012 Create Challenges-013

I used the Aviary stamp set to create one Bird hanging in  his home in the sky and stamped another bird stopping by for a visit. I think it came out fun – a nice … just checking in card for a friend!

I used the Cupcake Punch to put a few subtle clouds in the sky and I used the Adorning Accents Edgelit Die to cut a trim for the bottom of the card. At first my plan was to use the normal scallops at the bottom but when I saw the "scrap" upside down part of the scallops I though it fit very well with the look of the cage so I used it instead!

Don't forget to visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to get more inspiration from the other designers!

    Darling! Love the way you have placed all your stamps and the clouds. Looks like you are seeing the bird/cage from a window. Great working with you on Create!

    Such a cute idea with the clouds and I like the edgelits for a little fancy trim sitting below the ribbon layer!
