A Birthday Birdie

I decided to play along with the Just Add Ink colour challenge this week.  I love Chocolate Chip/Kiwi Kiss but hadn’t thought to use these colours with Barely Banana, however, I think they work great together.

I started with a base of Kiwi Kiss card  and then decided to use my Big Shot and Top Note Die to create the focal piece.  The first layer is Chocolate Chip and the second  layer is Barely Banana card with Kiwi Kiss Designer Series Paper and also a Chocolate Chip strip of card with one edge punched with the Scallop Edge Punch.   This layer was trimmed to fit on top of the Chocolate Chip layer.  I wrapped this piece with Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon before attaching to the card base.  I tied the bow separately and attached it with a mini glue dot (these are just fantastic).  I used my new Two Step Bird Punch to create the focal image at the top, using Kiwi Kiss cardstock for the branch, Kiwi Kiss DSP for the wing and Chocolate Chip card for the body.   I stamped my greeting (from Sincere Salutations) onto Barely Banana card using Chocolate Chip ink and punched it out with the Scallop Oval.  I layered this onto a Wide Oval punched out of Chocolate Chip card. 

I really liked the way this has come together.  What do you think?

Bye for now, Kris.
