Feathered Friends - CTD623

Hello! I’m popping in with my card for our last Color Throwdown Challenge for this year. We’ve got the colors green, aqua and pink to create with and we hope you’ll play along.
For my card, I used two Ink to Paper/Papertrey Ink stamp sets to create a thank you card. I started out by using stamp set Blossoming Branches and the Blossoming Branches dies and stamping the images in hibiscus burst and raspberry fizz for the flowers, new leaf for the leaves and chocolate chip for the branches. 
Next I used the stamp set Feathered Friends Mini 5 with the coordinating Feathered Friends Mini 5 dies. I love this set not only because I love birds but because I actually own two parakeet’s so using this set is extra fun. I stamped the parakeet in limeade ice and new leaf ink with canyon clay for the beak and feet and used tumbled glass distress oxide ink for his cere (which shows that he’s a male). I also used tumbled glass and peacock feathers to along with a stencil to blend my background. I stamped my sentiment and added all of my images, popping up the bird and three flowers with foam tape then added some iridescent glitter to the center of each flower.

Sweet Birthday Wishes - CTD622

Hello! It’s time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge and we have some delicious colors to create with.
For my card I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Cupcake dies to create a birthday card. I started out by die cutting several pieces in red, cranberry, chocolate chip, cream and kraft card stock then blended on some vintage photo distress oxide ink along the edges of the cream pieces.
I used the Outside In Stitched Rectangle dies as a base for my cupcakes and matted it in red card stock and adhered it to my white card front with foam tape. I assembled all of my cupcake pieces and adhered them together, then added the Scripty Sweet die cut word which I die cut three times from red card stock and a banner for the birthday wishes sentiment which came from the Happy, Happy, Happy set.
