Craft Roulette # 194

 It's been a very busy week... at work I've been doing some training that is really intense and tiring.  So after work it cooking dinner and that's about all I've had the energy for.   Just 4 more days of work then 12 days off.  Yesterday was a full on day and I didn't even get to watch the Craft Roulette till at least 8 hours after it had aired.   However, my washing was done and dried, the Ham was glazed and in the fridge, Chocolates filled with a nut made and Licorice Allsorts Slice in the fridge!  I was totally pooped! 

So woke about 2.30pm and got thinking how to use the parameters in the episode... back to sleep and then this morning I made my card. 

So my card base is a 5.5" square and the colour is Pearl - for birds eggs... plus blue flowers for blue eggs, the straw colour of the trellis is the nest.  The trellis is the ladder element - my flowers are climbing up the trellis (ladder)  as did my kitty.  His colour is inspired by the blackbird in the nest! So all elements are there.  The flowers are from Altenew's Build a Garden Morning Aster  - stamp, stencil and die set, and the sentiment from Altenew's Ambridge Rose stamp.   I used Distress Oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Mowed Lawn to stencil the colours onto the flower.   The sentiment was stamped in black and clear embossed.   Added some 49th and Market rub-on transfers around the top edges.  My little kitty is a Poppy Stamps die - Cozy Kitties - cut with some black card. 

Roll on Christmas... I'm looking forward to the break.
