Color and Sketch Challenge Bird card!

Summer will be here soon! That's what these colors remind me of!!! Stampin' Royalty has another amazing color challenge and this week we're to use: Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Taken with Teal and for my neutrals I used Basic Black and Whisper White!

My card layout was based upon the Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge! This one was fun with the long strips, circle, and rectangle piece! Layers and more layers were the secret of my card! If there is a secret (hahaha!). I'm such a nerd because I get Bermuda Bay and Taken with Teal mixed up all the time - so don't tell anyone, but my card stock on my card is actually Bermuda Bay! I guess the good news is that both colors are retiring soon - come June 30th! So Saffron is sticking around though! Yipee! It's definitely one of my favorite shades of yellow Stampin' Up! has.

This Two-Step Bird Punch (117191) has been SO popular and a HUGE seller from the Occasions Mini Catalog! You can order this punch through April 30th! I'm not sure if it'll be in the next catalog or not come July 1st - but to be safe, grab it now! You can click here to start shopping On-Line at my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator store!
