Pink Bird Tuesdays

Tuesdays can be fun, you've gotten through Monday, tomorrow is the middle of the week. It's kind of like Tuesday is just a day to hang out.


And, to play at Skipping Stones Design too! There is a great new sketch for this week, designed by this month's sketch artist, Cyndi Bundy. Stop by the blog for more details and fabulous inspiration from the design team member and June Guest Designers, Connie Mercer and Megan Aaron.

My simple card today features the awesome silhouette bird from Skipping Stones Design's Garden Kiss and a sentiment from Heartsong 2. I think the card really packs a punch with the colors based off of this week's Play Date Cafe Color Challenge.

  1. I'm having a conversation with myself today about it being Tuesday...stressing :)...but someone it always all gets done...so don't really know why I am!

    I adore your card. The color combo is fabulous and I love how you slightly inked the edges of the banners.

  18. Karen, I like these ribbony bits hanging from underneath the bird. I'll have to make note of this - it's a neat design trick!

    Thanks so much for joining us at The Play Date Cafe!
