Bird On A Wire for the PCCC



It's more like Bird Under the Wire....I started this card yesterday morning, had to put it away to get ready for a class last night ~ I had three card makers, one scrapbooker and two knitters!!! And YES, two more gals knitting, they hadn't ever held a pair of knitting needles before, so right to the beginning...and they got it! Yipee for them ...anyway.....back to my story! So then when I got up this morning (knowing that I only had until 11am) ~ got up, got myself together, headed into the city to take our grandson Seth to school, stopped at the Meat Market, picked up what I needed for dinner tonight, zipped home, ran downstairs, finished my card, grabbed my laptop and here I am....thanks so much for joining me....are you throughly exhausted yet!!! SO much fun...I actually really like this card, I wasn't sure at first, but now that it's together, I'm pleased!

So here is the challenge from the PaperCraftCrewChallenge ~ thanks so much for the challenge, I really struggle with color challenges, so this is just the stretching and climbing out of the box that I need!


and a fabulous Sketch to follow!


 And my card! As you can see, I didn't have my wheel well inked (say that fast 10 times)...but I guess it almost looks like it was done on purpose!



Super fast post...but thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a wonderful day!

    Oh yes.....you mastered it! You know I agree with you that these colours would be very difficult to put together, but I love what you ended up with. This is a wonderful sketch too. I do love the girl on the swing seen through the open window - such a pretty scene. The bird and the buttons....wonderful accents. Great job my friend.

    So pretty....I love the little vignette you created! I saw those colors and went running for the hills, but you nailed it! Lovely!

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!!
