Crafty Catz DT: Anything Goes - Birthday Birdies

Hello Everyone,

Well welcome back to Crafty Catz Challenges. We're starting off easy for 2013, to ease you all back in after the festivities. This weeks challenge has been set by Carol who says, anything goes! so people, create what you will and add it on to Mr Linky in our little space of the web.

We have two sponsors this week, our very own Carol who is celebrating taking over the running of Crafty Catz and is offering

and J&C Creations who are giving the lucky winner a £10 gift voucher.

For this weeks challenge I had the added bonus of being required to make two male birthday cards for the first week of January, oh I do hate making men's cards! I gave them both the same design and used this fabulous digi over at Tiddly Inks. I love these quirky little birds!

So it was a nice and simple layout. I simply printed the birds onto white card, along with where I wanted the miniature subway art and a second copy of the banner to foam mount over the top. I took my colour inspiration from the banner and coloured the birds in the following colours: Ruby, Poppy, Canary, Mustard, Cornflower and China Blue. I used Cinnamon, Caramel and Pear Green for the branch and leaf.

All I had to do to finish was put a bit of ribbon through and mount the 'sign' on the branch and double mount the whole thing on blue paper to finish.

So that's it. Thanks for stopping by and for more inspiration do pop over to the blog to see what the other girls have rustled up.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Creative Inspiration - Celebration

Until next time, happy crafting x
