Pumpkin Pie #1
#ColorCoachJourney
Hi
Less is More are having a One Layer Card challenge this week with the added theme of 'Animals'.
My Color Coach colours today are Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso. I wanted to use Cheerful Critters on my card as it is such a cute stamp set, so the fact that Daffodil Delight is featured in my colour options, the little chick was the obvious choice. I used Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities and an Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker to give him a plaid shirt.
My original idea was to just have the chick on the bottom right hand side of the card and nothing else, but I was looking at my masks/stencils and thought maybe I could mask the bird and have stars appearing behind it, but as I was moving my stencil around on the page, I had it at an angle and one of those fun creative light bulb moments happened. :)
Less is More theme:
Edited 18/03/15.... I am also linking this card to the AAA Card Challenge as they are having a Bare Naked CAS challenge. :)
I also used the Envelope Liner Framelit Die to cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper to line the envelope to match the card.
I hope you like my card. If you have been inspired by it and would like to support my creative business, all the supplies may be found by clicking through the links below which will take you to my store.

I love the graduated inking of the stars Alison, what a strange little critter, I wonder what he is supposed to be!

Haha...I think he is meant to be a bird or chick of some sort (with a dome-shaped head). :)
