It's Hot Outside Challenge -- At Dies R Us Challenges

It's the 15th of the month, so it's time for a new challenge at Dies R Us Challenges. Every 1st and 15th, a new challenge starts, with a new theme.  The theme for this challenge is "It's Hot Outside" (use hot colors -- reds, oranges, yellows).

I decided to take a different take on this challenge, and not go with the obvious summertime theme.  I stuck with red, orange, and yellow, but, well, you'll see...




I started out by inking my background with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Barn Door, Carved Pumpkin, and Squeezed Lemonade.  I let the background get good and dry before I went any further.  I've learned I easily get fingerprints!

The feathers are called Fluffy Feathers by Poppystamps, but this set by Impression Obsession are very similar, or this other set, also by Impression Obsession

The 'With Sympathy' sentiment is by Sue Wilson Designs

Lastly, a piece of twine from Timeless Twine finished off the card.





I hope you can join us for our "It's Hot Outside" challenge (use reds, oranges, and yellows).  It will run through the end of the month.  One gift certificate to the Dies R Us Store will be awarded and 3 Designer Choice awards. 

If you live in Canada, The Didi Crafts Store ships to both Canada and the US.  Check to out for some great products and prices! 

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:
