I was looking for inspiration for a thank you card today and I found it…times two!! First of all, I found a brand spankin’ new challenge from Stampin’ Celebration! You’ll recognize some of the names and faces, and you’ll be inspired by the fun colors. Just look at this picture:
Conveniently enough, there is a compatible challenge over at Pals Paper Arts (PPA41). For some reason I can’t link the picture so go take a look! I used the colors from Stampin’ Celebration and the cool birds from the Pals to get my card moving along. After I decided on the birds from Of the Earth, I played around with variations of using those squares. As I started putting the card together, I realized that I had settled on a version of the Pals sketch from a few weeks ago (PPA38). Well, a good sketch is one you can come back to over and over!! I used the Melon Mambo DSP from the level 3 hostess set Lovely Flowers. Can I tell you how happy I am that Melon Mambo is staying on as a new core color??!! I’m not much of a pink girl but this pink really works for me!
I’m using this as a thank you card for a friend. I hope she like the happy colors, too! Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

I FINALLY got some time to blog surf and I’m catching up on all of your posts that I’ve missed. This is a cute card and I love the way you used the bright colors and the sketch. I like the Bold Brights but tend not to use them because I can’t ever get the balance of them just right on y card. You did a great job!
Fabulous! Love the bright colors you used. I really like this layout with this image. Works really well. Great job with both challenges. Thanks so much for playing along at Stampin’ Celebration! We hope you will join us again sometime! 🙂
