Taylored Expressions Share Joy Campaign: Inspiration Challenge Week

The Taylored Expressions 5th Birthday Bash is continuing this week with a new Share Joy Campaign, benefiting the Union Rescue Mission of Los Angeles, Prodigal's Home of Phoenix, and Iowa Homeless Youth Shelter of Des Moines. These wonderful charities work tirelessly to bring comfort and care to many homeless individuals and families throughout the year. One way they are sharing joy each and every day is by celebrating the birthdays of their participants, and you can help by sending in your handmade birthday cards! 

This week, Taylored Expressions will help you to create with a different Birthday Inspiration Challenge each day. These charities need birthday cards of all kinds: child, adult, baby, so send in your funny, sweet, pretty, elegant, works of art and know that you will be brightening someone's day in a way only a handmade card can do.  To get all the details on how to participate, please hop over to the Taylored Expressions Blog.

Today's challenge is a color challenge....red, green, aqua, and yellow!! 

Challenge Guidelines: Sometimes a terrific jumping off point to create a card is to begin with a great color palette. Create a birthday card using these four colors.

My card features the Birthday Banner Cutting Plate...it was used on coastal cabana, real red, and barely banana card stock. They were all embossed with the Dotted Swiss embossing folder and adhered to a choice snow white layer. That layer was adhered to the barely banana card base. One row of the banners was cut from the barely banana diecut and adhered over the top. The image from Totally Tags - Occasions was colored with Copics, cutout, and layered onto a kiwi kiss layer. The stamp was stamped again onto a piece of yellow card stock and just the sentiment was cutout and adhered with foam tape. The balloon Birthday Treat Topper was cutout of three different colors of card stock, pieced together, and popped up with foam tape. The seam binding and Doodlebug Sprinkles finish it off. 

There are several design team members and alumni who have samples to share for today's inspiration and readers can get the full link list on the TE blog.
