Today’s projects are demonstrating using same colours to create different cards.
This bird card is my project for the latest Festive Friday Challenge which this time is celebrating National Pet Day which occurs on April 11th. The Design Team uses this theme to create the Inspo List.
The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project in our card making and paper crafting challenge. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about the theme at all! The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with a fun and interesting inspiration list!
My project used: bird, twine, birdcage, embossing folder
Same Colours To Create Different Cards
This card uses Pretty Bird Bundle to create this card featuring budgerigars. We certainly kept budgies as a child as did so many family members. They were a common sight with their bells and ladders back in the 70’s.
The card also features an embossed background using the cloud embossing folder.
The rows of birds sitting on the branches were cut from some card that had been color blended with ink and blending brushes.
A Colour Challenge
As well as being inspired by the Festive Friday Inspo List, I also used this colour challenge to give me the colour palette I used. While I was playing with these colors, I also created a second card uses the Whale Done Stamp set and matching bunch.
The background on this card was created with ink and a blending brush. Seaweed, fishes, bubbles and seahorses were added to the scene and then the stamped and punched out whale was raised up with dimensionals.

Lovely cards!! I did not buy them but your cards are very gorgeous! Thank you to sharing with me.
Wonderful card! I love the effect of the ink blending you used to color the birds.
Helen, I love those colors together! I also love how you incorporated the birds on a wire. Blending the yellow onto the focal layer to tie the two areas of the card together works beautifully.
