~Hunting~ for a card...

Good Morning everyone! I am so excited because I played in my craft room last night, and my main goal was to create a card for a few challenges, and I am happy to report that I succeeded! The challenges are:

Cute Card Thursday: Use beads

Cupcake Craft Challenges: Create a 5x5 birthday card

SPCC: Use the colors shown to the right

I have been wanting to participate in the SPCC challenges for awhile, and I was finally able to find the time. Now honestly when I saw these colors, I really didn't know what to do - these colors are definitely a challenge!

Here is my submission:

The background papers are all Pink Petticoat, though I modified the colors slightly so they included the colors for the challenge. I use Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, and I copied the colors from Samantha's inspiration photo, then I use the "flood fill" option to modify the colors.

The first 2 lines of the sentiment are from the Clear Dollar Stamps Deer Hunting Set. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Papertrey Ink Sign Language set because the Happy Birthday sentiment in the Deer Hunting set is a little bit too hard to read.

The deer and the trees are from the Cricut Camp Out cartridge.

Thanks so much for Looking!
