Alison's Everything Old is New Again Challenge (EONAC5) this week is a sketch using Orange as the predominant color.
I used the same Basic Grey Lime Rickey paper that Allison used in her card & combined it with stamps from Unity's August Kit of the Month Following My Heart that had never seen ink. I subscribed to the Kit of the Month Club for quite a while, but have seldom used the stamps. I love what I see others make, but I seem to struggle to produce cards with them that I love.
I paper pieced the bird image and added colored pencils and gem flowers.
This card also works for the Our Creative Corner Challenge to pull out something that we purchased eons ago but never got around to using.
If you're interested in receiving this Unity Kit from me, leave a message on this post, and I'll choose a random commenter on Sunday night & send these stamps your way. Hopefully the recipient will do a better job of inking them up than I have.
How fun! A great way to use up this paper (as fun as it is, sometimes I am like "Huh?".). Great take on the challenge (if I do say so myself!).

Such a bright and happy card! I love that primitive image and it works so well with that paper you have matched it up with! Glad to see you were able to give some love to your older supplies! So happy you could join in the fun with us at Our Creative Corner this week.
