Just Us Girls Challenge #708 - Color Week - Teal, Navy & Green - Peace and Love Ornamental Ornament and Birds

Hello,

Happy New Year - and a new year of Just Us Girls challenges. Speaking of 'new', we have a few of those for 2024 as well, which you can read about here

To start us off, Vicki has selected Teal, Navy and Green as inspiration for Just Us Girls Challenge #708 - Colour Week. 

All the changes are wonderful, but the one that has me really excited is having a new designer joining the team: the wonderfully creative and sweet Stephanie Lanzalotto of My~Ink~Well. Welcome aboard, Stephanie! 

Also joining us is our January Guest Designer, Stef Perry, A warm welcome to you!

I'm still in Christmas mode for a while longer, as some new products arrived too late in the festive season to have play opportunities. This is one of them: an older set from Tim Holtz - Ornamental Birds. Even though I have major bird terror, paper versions are 'okay' - and these, as well as the assortment of ornaments in the collection, are easy to create. I have a bunch die cut and assembled, in various colours, waiting 'in the wings' for a card-ifying opportunity (hopefully soon).


Looking forward to seeing how teal, green and navy inspired you!

Thank you for dropping by!

Love the unique and fun birds in those pretty colors, Carol! I want to continue to create some Christmas cards for a while, too. Well, when I can get back to my crafty space. Enjoying my daughter being home for now. :)

Your partridge is look amazing against that white background! Fabulous Card

I love these funky, wonderful birds and I love the design you put them in. THe white die cut branches are the perfect place for them to perch, ad the middle pacement of your ornament is perfect. I am going to do more Christmas cards too, and I really missed the boat this year! Thank you for the warm welcome! I am happy to be on this team with you!

Those colors combined beautifully for your birds and ornament, Carol. Love those branches behind and the die for the ornament string.

A total stunner! I love those cool birds (my daughter is freaked out by birds, too) perched on the white branches and that beautiful ornament. Great use of this week's colors.

This has both a modern and retro look to me Carol and it's fantastic!
