AAA Cards has a colour scheme with a twist of using dots or spots and I thought this die of sketchy rings fit the bill. This is my 2nd attempt as although the original one was a nice attempt – I forgot that it was supposed to have this colour scheme so today I basically recreated the card in the right colours, or at least as close as I can get to these colours. My background panel was inked with both cracked Pistachio and Speckled egg which brought me close the colour in the image. Once I added the sketchy ring die cut I added some Opal blaze in the center of the largest circle. The little bird was die cut twice and I used a small piece to add to his head and the leftover part behind the glitter part so it has a bit of strength. He was popped up onto the rings and I added a tiny black eye as well. His head is cut from a scrap inked piece I made some time ago and the sentiment is cut from the same inked piece too. I backed it with the leftover glitter paper. The musical notes are from my stash. I’m quite happy with how this turned out and actually like it better than the original one. Thanks for looking.
Such a pretty card! I think it meets the colors of the challenge.

Thanks. It was an easy card to make especially as my hands weren’t too good that day.

If I had used a lot of stamps for this card getting the colours right would have been harder. I mixed the inks for the background.
