Cloche Quarters Birthday

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  Today I'm popping in to share a birthday card that I created with some new Papertrey Ink products I received and the colors from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge.  

For my card, I wanted to create a little scene using the elements from the new Cloche Quarters stamp set and dies.  The first thing I did was to die cut and stamp a few of the images from the Cloche Quarters set and to die cut the new Mix & Mat: Scallops die.  Next I did a bit of blue watercoloring onto the die cut Mix & Mat piece and then arranged my images and discovered I needed something else.  So I added a bird from last years PTI anniversary set, Petite Pots.  Everything is better with a bird on it, lol!  Once I had all of my stamped images adhered to my watercolor panel, (I popped up the birdhouse and bird with foam tape) I added it to an embossed daffodil delight cardstock panel with foam tape and added that to a white card base. Don't forget, you still have time to play along with this week's Color Throwdown Challenge!
