When I saw the current Midnight Madness sketch I immediately thought of using bird images and here is my card, just in time! The three birds are all from Tiffany Doodles, they are
Woodpecker,
Bluebird 2 and
Warbler Cherry Blossoms. Having had my bright idea, reality then hit home about just how small the images needed to be unless I made a monster sized card! I tried painting these in watercolour at 2" but was not happy with my work, I couldn't get the detail. So I used my Copics and these squares are just 1 3/4". The fact that they have worked so well (or at least I think they have) is tribute to the design quality, they were much easier to use so small than I epxected. I plan to use them again at a more normal size, watch this space...
The sentiments are Whiff of Joy, the leaves are a Martha Stwart punch and the dotty paper is a Fancy Pants design.
My card is for the following challenges:
Midnight Madness - sketch
Fashionista - things with wings
Stamp Something - with wings
Creations by Gill - birds in my garden
The Paper Variety - polka dots
I love this card Anne, stunning colouring, fab layout. Jo x
