AAA Colourful colour themed challenges - Colourboard #14

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's the 15th of the month and time for the 14th colourboard challenge at AAA Colourful colour themed challenges, and do we have a fun colourboard in greens and yellow for you to be inspired by!

I have to admit, at first I found this one to be a bit tricky. Going through my stash of dies I found a cute little die set I hadn't used yet, and that I thought could work perfect for the colour combination of the colourboard. This is what I came up with

I started by die cutting all the pieces for the parrot, and some leaves and flowers. Next I ink blended the background using a stencil and distress oxide inks. I also added some ink to some of the die cut pieces. Then it was time to assemble the parrot and start building my little scene. The sentiment was stamped, and a thin border was added to the card panel before addhering it all to a card base.

Products used
Die sets: "Tropical Friends" and "Sealed Blooms" both by Spellbinders
Inks: Distress Oxide ink "Twisted Citron" and "Mustard Seed" by Tim Holtz/ Ranger and VersaFine Clair "Green Oasis" by Tsukineko
Stencil: "Tropical Leaves Background" by Lawn Fawn

Stamp: "A little birdie told me... art:15060303" by Gummiapan
