Embellish Magazine.com Color Challenge

I'm entering a new challenge with this card, the Embellish Magazine.com Color Challenge. As you can see from the inspiration photo, we were to use a color palette of pink, brown and green. We were also challenged to use birds on our cards.

For my card I chose to use some of my favorite paper, Basic Grey. This paper is from the Perhaps collection and the pretty bird image is an Inkadinkado stamp. I thought the base card was too plain so I stamped it with a musical score in Stazon Timber Brown. I distressed the DP paper edges and added Distress Stickles in Walnut Stain to the bird image. For a little extra texture I strung some brown and green beads on some Martha Stewart Bakers Twine and wrapped it around the pink DP.

It's a simple card, but I hope you like it.

Supplies
Paper: Bazzill, Basic Grey Perhaps Collection
Stamps: Inkadinkado Birds Galore, Stampendous Music Score, Papertrey Ink Mixed Messages
Inks+: Stazon Timber Brown, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Walnut Stain Distress Stickles
Tools: Nestabilities Classic Squares Large (S4-126)
Miscellaneous: Prima daisy, Recollections adhesive pearl, beads, Martha Stewart Bakers Twine

Blessings,
