card challenge combo

hello hello
...
i declared today:
"we are staying at home all day today.

i am not getting in my car today.
i am not taking you anywhere today.
there will be no one sleeping over at our house today.
day"

...
sometimes you just *need* those kinds of days.
which, for me, turned into

cardmaking day!!!!
...

I decided to play along with
this Cuttlebug blog challenge:

This week challenge is to create a woodsy outdoor project,
using woodsy animals (except for snakes)
using twigs, pebbles anything from nature..


We have a fun Colour template for you as a component for this week.



....
Here is my card:

'wish' card


{click on photo to enlarge}
...
I followed this week's
Card Patterns sketch #22

to create my card.
...
I just l♥ve this fresh color combo!
I used Making Memories and BoBunny patterned paper;
My Mind's Eye and October Afternoon die cut tags
(used as templates to create my own tag);
Cuttlebug & Swiss dot embossing folder;
Clearsnap charcoal chalk ink; Versafine ink;
bird stamp by ? {I don't remember?};
rhinestones by Zva Creative;
Prima flower; ribbon from Michael's; and
some Spanish moss to create the bird's nest.
