I needed to make a 40th wedding anniversary card for my parents (Yay!! 40 years!). They both love bird watching, so I wanted to have two birds looking at each other. But, I only had this one bird from the Bird on a Branch stamp set. It took me a while to figure out how to reverse the image (I don't have one of those blank rubber stamps), and I ended up colouring in quite a bit of the bird myself. But I like how it turned out
The ink colours used in sponging are (from inside out) Barely Banana, Apricot Appeal, More Mustard, Really Rust, and then Bravo Burgandy. The funny part was that the paper colour that looked the best with the image was Dusty Durango! Strange that I never even used in in the image ...
Oh, and the letter T is chipboard with black embossing.
Thanks for looking!

I love the warmth of this card and the feeling behind it. Your colors are so rich, and the image and sentiment very loving. Congrats to you parents! TSMFS
