I recently discovered a blog called
Crafting Clare's Paper Moments (by Vicky) and immediately fell in love with all the creations there. Vicky is a SU demonstrator and just always has the prettiest cards and projects. Please take a moment and check out this wonderful site! A couple of weeks ago she kept showing cards using different images of birds on them - and oh my goodness, were they ever pretty. I finally broke down and ordered a couple of SU sets (Beautiful Seasons is the one I've used on this card) and decided I was going to CASE one of her cards. No way did that happen!! Hers are so pretty and every time I'd try to do one, it just was not looking as nice.......So, I just made one of my own.
I've colored this image with Prisma pencils and then lightly sponged around it with Antique Linen distress ink. I think the background paper is from My Minds Eye - but not sure on that one. That Cherry Cobbler paper from SU is an exact match for the DP though. The sentiment was completed with the Teeny Tiny Wishes and SU punches. I popped up the image on dimensionals and placed small gold brads in the four corners.
Thanks for stopping by.........and hope everyone has a great week.

Beautiful card Lynn! The colouring on the image is gorgeous and I love the dp - so perfect with the image.
Well, Lynn, I must say that I think you make very pretty cards, indeed!! And this one is no exception. I have a soft spot in my heart for birds and Chickadees are one of my favorites! Your coloring does the image justice and I especially like the sponging for the background. The papers match so nicely and the overall affect is wonderful.
Oh my this is so very pretty. This is one of the prettiest cards ever!
How very pretty and what you used as a BG for your image is just perfect! Lovely!
