The Bird

 This started out as a nice little girly birthday card for my sister in law........not sure what happened to all those thoughts but they seem to have gone out the window once I started making the card.  The stamp is from Unity and I was going to color it in all the pretty pinks....DUH!.........So, now we have a blue/green/yellow/brown bird - done with colored pencils.  I think I'll have to try again on the girly looking bird and maybe put a nice little bow around her neck or something......We'll see.........


Thanks for stopping by.......and keep smiling........

Ha, this card sure does bring a smile and chuckle to my face Lynn! I love the colors you chose for this card. Your bird looks great and you used color pencils too-love that! That is one crazy looking bird, about how I felt when Bret turned 27! LOL Love the plaid you used in the background, colors go great with your bird. I'm sure this will bring smiles to either your SIL or someone else, I know it sure brought a smile to my face! Now, let see that girly one! LOL Hugs, Brenda

Oh, but you can't help yourself, Lynn! You do cute and quirky and adorable and snarky and all the other things I love so well! If I were your SIL, I would love this, but I know you have lots of pp and pink, so if you MUST go girlie, you can do it beautifully! BTW, love your penguins, too! Hugs, Darnell
