CD 617 - Bird on Branch Shaker

 Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 617!

You must use all three colours for this challenge. 

This was my second attempt at this card. The blending brushes I used the first time were badly stained and the shades of purple were very off colour. 

I stamped and stencilled the bird and the branch using shades of the three colours. They were die cut and set aside until the shaker was built. The background was hot foiled in purple and I die cut six additional pieces of white cardstock to go behind the foiled front. The sequins were added to the shaker and the bird and branch were placed on top of the acetate. A sentiment was placed at the bottom and the entire card front was adhered to Lagoon cardstock. 

Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,

Alyson
