Colour INKspiration Challenge on Facebook was the impetus for my card today. Thank you, Jan Clothier, for getting me introduced to the challenge.
I decided on the design because of The Paper Players PP713 Sketch Challenge. It just reminded me of a fun fold, don't you agree? I know Ann Schach does!
While I'm name dropping, let me thank Stef and Lauren for the theme inspiration at Jingle Belles Challenge While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks" (JB2422).
Let's take a closer look, shall we?

DeleteSuch a great card - and yes, a fun fold makes perfect sense! I love your sweet tweeter!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary. I wish I could have made my tweeter Night of Navy to go with the Petunia Pop!
DeleteYep...I DO agree! lol This is beautiful, Karen! Petunia Pop and Granny Apple Green are gorgeous together. Of course, the bird lover in me adores this image....such a lovely choice for the band. Thank you so much for playing in my sketch challenge at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann. I always happy to support your challenge.
DeleteWhat a beautiful way to interpret the sentiment, Karen with nature in full bloom with the brightly colored bird and leafy dsp. The fun fold is a great way to use the sketch too. Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteStef, thank you for your glowing comment.
DeleteLove how you positioned your birdie on the card band ... so very glad you joined our Creature Feature at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Stef, for commenting on behalf of Jingle Belles.
DeleteGlad to have been of service, Karen! Great to see you jumping straight in at Colour Inkspiration! Love your gorgeous bird - he looks so realistic. I'd not seen the colours as Christmas but of course it works! Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jan. Most of my Christmas cards are non-traditional :-)
