Have a ducky birthday!

This card is such a departure of what I usually create. But Joan's Garden Challenge this week really pushed me beyond my usual projects. The requirements were:

• colors: orange, red and green
• use die cut circles
• use designer paper with lines
• use a bird or something from nature

These are really bold colors and I normally tend to pastels or cool colors. I hope my aunt likes her birthday card.

The other challenge that this card is for is the Clearly Inspired Challenge. The challenge is to bring on the bling. I used self-adhesive rhinestones and Eucalyptus and Ruby Slippers Stickles. The image is from Clear Dollar Stamps called Goose Hugs. The sentiment is from Gina K Enjoy the Sunshine. Try something with bold colors and push yourself.
