New Challenge at Time Out!


Hi friends!
I'm here with my DT card for the new challenge at Time Out! Our challenge this fortnight is a very special one, it is a collaboration challenge with Just Us Girls Challenge BlogBy entering our challenge you will automatically also join Just Us Girls Challenge. That means your project will gain twice the visibility... You will double your chances to be chosen as a design team favorite and your project may be showcased in one or both of the challenge blogs. Whether you join from Time Out or from Just Us Girls, you also have a chance to win $25.00 store credit to Waffle Flower Crafts. The theme of the challenge is 

Birds of Feather


In my card I've used products from our fabulous sponsor Waffle Flower Crafts. The stunning parrot and the leave dies come from Tropical Kit die set. The background is made with Pop Up Tropical Leaves Texture die and matching Duo-Tone Tropical Leaves stencil set. The white heat embossed and die cut sentiment comes from a flower stamp set Sunflower Love. Waffle Flower Crafts truly is one of my favorite companies -I'm ready to say I've never made a card with their products that I've not loved loved loved! This one is no exception!! 

For the background and die cut leaves I used grey card stock and some greyish Altenew inks. I love the contrast between the parrot and the grey die cuts -I didn't use any inking for the parrot but he is cut from solid card stock pieces. I'm almost certain my parrot is a he! The sassy hair has a manly vibe to me! :) I hope that's ok for our "Birds of Feather" challenge lol. :)

I'd like to join: 
Stencil fun for March: Anything Goes option
Die Cut Divas Challenge for March: Anything Goes

Oh you did a marvelous job with your Waffle Flower stash. I LOVE that bird (I should have cut some) and I love that you left him white and colored his tail and spikes. He is definitely a he. LOVE the gray background. I couldn't love it more!
