You Make Life Colorful! | Not2Shabby July Mood Board Challenge

Hello crafty friends! 💌

Today I’m sharing a bright and bold Peek-a-Boo Flap Card that’s totally tropical and full of personality! This colorful creation was made LIVE during Moody Monday over on my YouTube channel @jmariedesigned — and let me tell you, this parrot is not shy about stealing the spotlight! 🦜💃

The inspiration came straight from the Not2Shabby July Mood Board Challenge — a jungle of leafy greens and rainbow brights just calling out for a fabulous feathered friend. 🌿🌈

🛍️ Supplies used:

• Stamp & Patterned Paper: From the Jr. Box of the Month at Not2Shabby (affiliate link)

• Markers: Copic (because when you need that vibrant, blendy magic — nothing else will do!)

• Card base: Peek-a-Boo Flap fold for a little extra “ooh!” factor

• Twine & Embellishments: For texture and that handmade-with-love finish 💕

✨ Card Details:

This parrot was just begging for a rainbow makeover — and who was I to say no? Each feather got its moment in the sun with vivid Copic colors that made him pop right off the page. The leafy background paper ties everything together, giving you that lush, jungle vibe without needing bug spray. 🐜🚫😂

I added a bit of black & white baker’s twine for a subtle accent and a few bright enamel dots to bring the eye right to the sentiment:
“You make life colorful.”
Isn’t that the truth? The world is more colorful with crafty friends in it. 💖
