Hey everyone! It has been a busy week with for me, hence the lack of posts. The kids are home for two weeks and I have been trying with all my might to get ready for the big workshop I am holding tonight. I’m nearly there. But onto this weeks challenge. It’s a colour one. I just love the colour ones-
Very earthy huh?! Those three colours would have to be some of the first colours I bought when I met SU! I went for the earthy colours first. I did of course not get the Cameo Coral (shudder) until I became a demonstrator….lol! But anyway onto the card-
I decided the colours could be adapted to a boys card and I haven’t done some paper piecing in a while so why not this week. I stamped the little stars in second and third generation in the Navy. I just wanted it to be a subtle BG. I didn’t want it to overpower the rockets. I think I managed to balance it well. What do you think?
- Stamp Set- Pun Fun, It’s your Birthday, In the stars
- Cardstock- Not quite Navy, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Very Vanilla
- Ink- Not quite Navy, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip
- Accessories- Old Olive ribbon, Mat Pack, Sponges, Crop-A-Dile and dimensionals
I used the Crop-A-Dile to punch out the little holes for the window on the rockets. The little portholes are so tiny I would only ruin them with my blunt craft knife, so the Crop-A-Dile was the perfect solution. Those rockets are sooo cute! Sorry just had to add that in case you didn’t know…LOL! Please check out the rest of the team, they will have something fabulous for you-
I better get back to the hard yacker! Well pretend to anyway! LOL!
Thanks for dropping by!

I was totally drawn to the earthy colours as well (and yes — totally agree about Cameo Coral).
Fabulous card, Kirsty! Love the layout!

Super cute Kirsty – one of my boys saw it and said ‘ I like that card’.
That is a cute stamp set – one I don’t have but do wish for. You always do well with that set.
