A couple of weeks ago Sam threw down a challenge (
SDC 149) to use pink, turquoise and polka dots on a project. I've had a couple of those little unfinished wood birdhouses sitting on my desk, all gesso'd up and ready to go and thought I would whip up a little something-something really quick with one of those. I painted, stamped, colored, textured...and then painted, stamped, colored and textured some more. The deadline for the challenge came and went and then the new Celebrate challenge (
SDC 150) was tossed out. Clever me thought I could combine the two, but, um...no. All that to say I have two projects to share today - both having pink & turquoise, but only one with polka dots and the other celebratory...kinda. ;)
Initially the 'celebrate' banner was supposed to go across the the front of the house (along with a 'today' banner) but this little house really is itty bitty and the banner just looked too big. I still thought the banner was kinda cute-ish so plopped it onto a card.
Oliver cracks me up with his sad little face. I was thinking he was wearing a party hat but maybe it's a dunce cap. And perhaps that's why he can't quite get his celebration on.
Before the whole Celebrate thing came up I was thinking of putting 'Home Sweet Home' on the front of this. Still might.
Several layers on this baby. Tissue paper, washi tape, stamped images, acrylics, etc.
Heart Boy is a little charmer, isn't he?
Wishing you a fab week. Thanks for taking a peek!

Both are gorgeous Julie, love the kraft card with pink and turquoise, gives a lovely contrast. Loving your birdhouses a lot:-) xxx
You made my day. Thank you!
Both the card and the birdhouse are fabulous. I really love the mix of patterns and colors on the house. I especially like the "pop" you've achieved with the black and white stripes/dots.
Heart Boy sure is a charmer and he'll make a great host for the birds.
Oliver sure has a sad face. Maybe he couldn't blow out all the candles and is bummed out about that. Or maybe he's just a morose sort of guy.
In either case, the card is CAS fabulous!
Thanks for playing along with us at Stampotique Designers Challenges!
Gorgeous makes Julie, loving the birdhouse and such a simple card with Eric, fabulous :D x
Love both your project, Julie, and, yes, when working on more than one project at a time, it does seem that some segments jump across the table! While I love your birdhouse with its cheerful color palette and striking design, Oliver steals my heart every time I see him. I just want to hug him and make his work ok again. But, I also love the humor in your card....when I saw the "or not" at the bottom, I burst out laughing. Both great makes, Julie! Thanks so much for continuing to inspire us all at the Stampotique Designers' Challenge!
