I'm combining the Teapot Challenge to send a card to a neighbor and the color challenge. I was enchanted with Barbara's (aka bejoyce) DT card for the color challenge and it made me pull out my Spellbinders birdhouse dies. I hadn't use this house yet so that's where I started, Here's a link to Barbara's sweet card:CC875 - Sweet Birds on a Branch by bejoyce at Splitcoaststampers
I like the floral dp layer she used behind the die cuts. To emulate that, I stamped a floral bg stamp with Versamark and clear embossed the image. Then it was just die cut away and glue, glue, glue.
This will be a thank you card for a friend. I hope she will feel the deep appreciation and thanks I feel toward her. I hope you each know I am thankful and appreciative of all the kindness and support I receive her each week at SCS. Hope you have a blessed day. TFL.

Pure delight! I love birds so this card (as Barbara's did) popped right out at me. These dies work so perfectly with the colors and your tone-on-tone embossed background is wonderful. Love it!

How pretty, Debbie! I really liked Barbara's card bg too. How fun to clear emboss your bg. Sweet birdies and little flowers to help bring life to the birdhouse image~

Ooo, this is so sweet. Love the birdhouse with the heart door and shutters with the tiny hearts. Super cute. Beautifully arranged with all the die-cuts. The background is fabulous. Love it all! Very nicely done with the challenge colors.

This is so pretty! I love how you've used the colors for this. I would have very tempted to add some neutrals but you really nailed it by using just the challenge colors! It is very striking!

That is so sweet. You have reminded me that I was thinking of getting one of those sets for a friend...good timing with her birthday on the horizon. It looks lovely in those blues with the crisp white.

so soft and delicate ! Love your color scheme. I don't recall this Spellbinders die, but will check out my past kits and see if I have it. I love that birdhouse and adorable birds... (I joined back when it was Makers Mart in about 2016 ish).
