Embellish color trends challenge with birds



There's a new Embellish color trends challenge which you can check out here. The challenge was to use the colours shown to the left, together with some sort of bird image.

I decided to put some curio chipboard to use, though I ended up recolouring part of the bird to get rid of its red chest :)  I made my own postcard using a piece of cardstock, some patterned paper, a printed label and a stamp. The card got a bit mangled going through the printer, but that probably fits with the vintage type look.  Here's what I came up with:




Photobucket


Supplies
Paper - PTI vintage cream, SU kraft, Basic Grey Cuurio patterned paper and chipboard element

Ink - PTI vintage tea dye duo
Accessories - postage stamp, black lace
