The color challenge for June 2017 over at the Lindy's Gang blog is represented by this image and palette:
And, as in the past, the rules include using only this palette (with the possible addition of white, black/grey or brown neutrals) and using at least 2 Lindy's Gang products.
I decided to take my inspiration from the photograph provided and use the sprays and embossing powders from the special set that was made up to go with this challenge.
My first step was to gesso three chipboard discs and a 5" X 6.5" card front. Once the gesso was dry, I sprayed the discs using (1) Starburst Shabby Turbine Teal, (2) Flat Fabio Bonjour Butter and (3) Moonshadow Peg Leg Pete Purple sprays. Once that was finished, I spot embossed each disc with (1) Desert Moon Turquoise, (2) Bonjour Butter and (3) Angel Wings Mauve. I then stamped each with a bird cage from Brutus Monroe's "Angel Wings" set, using Archival Jet Black ink:

I spread texture paste through two different layering stencils on the card front and once that was dry, I stamped the birdcages again:.
My final step was to spray the card front with Flat Fabio South Shore Sand, Starburst Alpine Ice Rose and Fat Fabio Bonjour Butter. I added two birds from the Bruno Monroe set as well as a sentiment using Archival Jet Black ink, and attached the discs so that they corresponded to the stamped cage images on the card front.
The positioning of the discs over the textured background was my interpretation of the lanterns hanging in the framework in the photograph (although it might be interpreted as a pastel Christmas ornament display! LOL).
