Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues.
This month our talented Steph picked our colors. She chose....
Aren't these beautiful fall colors?
They were perfect for this Papertrey Ink bird die set that recently arrived in
my craft room.
I die cut this plump little guy from a piece of Crushed Curry textured cardstock that
I'd been hoarding for a 'few' years. I added a bit of ink blending around the edges
and plopped him on a branch watercolored in shades of red.
I punched some bits of gold metallic cardstock to add to the background
and leaves.
Now let's go and see what my talented friends and our
fantastic Guest Designer Crystal have done to inspire you.
Your card and or project can use ANY HUE of the TWO Colors selected for you,
and of course, neutrals are welcome.
Our Neutrals are: white, black, grey, kraft, brown, cream, and metallics.
Remember that green is not a neutral.
I hope you'll create a card using Amber & Burnt Red and add it to the gallery at
Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on October 14th.
The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall
winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.
Most importantly, just have fun!

I should soon be seeing some Warblers that look just like your darling new 'plump' little friend, Bonnie! But it seems our weather might have caused a change in their migration route this year! I love your gorgeous use of these colors!

OH WOW what a fabulous creation! Awesome design with your cute, plump bird on a branch ... perfect use of the colors and love that embossed background (don't forget about our Can You Handle the Pressure challenge). Beautiful job!
Such a cute little "plump" bird setting on that lovely colored branch. Love the embossed background and how you added those little punches of gold metallic cardstock. Beautiful use of these colors.
What a sweet little bird, Bonnie. He's loving his perch of burnt red leaves. We had a burning bush at our old house and I loved seeing the birds hiding there.
You've used these colors perfectly Bonnie and I love your sweet little chubby bird! The burnt red leaves are so pretty too and both look awesome on your embossed background...a real CAS beauty my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Wow! That's a great use of the colors and so on point for your beautiful bird.
Loving this plump little guy perched on those fabulous leaves! Pretty card, Bonnie!
Those colours look wonderful. Your little bird does look rather well fed or perhaps he is just a bit chilly and has his feathers all fluffed up xx
Bonnie, you create cards faster than I can manage to comment on your posts! :-))
Autumn has clearly arrived in terms of color trends. Your vision looks fantastic. That beautiful burnt-red branch and the lovely little bird—which you shaded so delicately—look stunning against the embossed background. Another amazing autumn card, my dear Bonnie.

Lovely fall colours on such a sweet card.
Bonnie, I Love your sweet bird perched on the fall branch! Such a pretty design.
Bonnie this is gorgeous - how fortunate that plump wee bird landed in your craft room at such an opportune moment!! Your use of the colours is stunning
Blessings

Your little bird perched on the leafy branch makes for an eye-catching design and features amber and burnt red beautifully. Inspired and inspiring.

What a brilliant idea to combine that darling bird with the autumn leaves! The watercolored leaves are gorgeous, and I love that embossed background! A perfect autumn card!
What could be better than a bird on a branch? These are beautiful colors together. I tend to 'hoard' my Crushed Curry as well because it's not the easiest color for me to use. Your new little bird is wearing it well and altogether your card is gorgeous!
Such a beautiful card! I love your subtle use of the colors!
This is a lovely rich colour combination for Color Hues this time Bonnie, and it suits your design perfectly with that wonderful yellow bird and the red/brown leaves, and the embossed background which goes beautifully. x
What is that bird - Koo Koo Berry? When I saw your make I started singing "Koo Koo Berry sits in the old gum tree - merry merry bird of the forest is he -

What a fabulously beautiful card!
Bonnie, the "plump" little bird is so sweet and looks fabulous atop the red leafy branch! I love the colors you used to watercolor the branch, and it certainly pops against the white embossed background. When you said you used Crushed Curry textured paper a lightbulb went on in my head. I have a big stash of the textured paper in different "old" SU colors. Thanks for the reminder to use them!
Bird!!! LOL!!! I love her. Especially the colors. This is just beautiful Bonnie!!!
Love that cute little fella on his branch. The small birds don't get much of a look in around here with all the crows but we do see the occasional robin or dunnock hopping on the patio. :)
LOvley use of the colors Bonnie.
Excellent page.
Tweet card! That chubby bird is too cute. Fabulous use of the colours.
Oh my goodness Bonnie this is so delightful and I really love the embossed background with the branch and bird overlapping it! Such a wonderful and beautiful design!
Love that plump little bird!! He looks great in amber sitting on the bright red branch!
