Since I recommended this week's Color Challenge at SCS, I knew I needed to play along. I loved how Itsapassion used these colors (Real Red, Blue Bayou, Soft Sky) in her Spring Bundle III creation. They remind me of colors we have throughout our house ... the colors of the St. Louis Cardinals ... so I knew I needed to make a Cardinal creation.
Since it's a guy card, I decided to keep it simple and free of embellishment. I used Jen del Muro's Sketch for You to Try. I also wanted to use a bird for Allison's Suggestive Sunday theme (I really like the idea of using a theme for a week's cards).
I inked the Impression Obsession Cardinal with ColorBox Chalk Warm Red and then used markers to color over the branch, beak and feet. I stamped the PSX baseball in ColorBox Prussian blue and punched it out using a 7/8" punch. The sentiment is a sticker.
Only 3 weeks until Spring Training ... Go Cardinals.
This looks terrific (esp. for a guy!). As good as the "theme" is, I find myself wanting to stray all the time!
