This is my first submission to the Fan Club challenges. This card does double duty for the sketch and inspiration challenges. Goldenwood Studio has some amazing artwork.
I loves the simplicity and beauty of this sketch and ended up using stamps from different companies. The tree limb is from Local King Rubber, the leaves from Kittie Kits Cause a Scene, the sentiment from ODBD Sing to the Lord and the bird is from SU Touch of Nature. I added a punched border under the ribbon, watercolored the bird, cut it out and popped up on dimensionals. Did some piercing in the corner using an Ornare template and added sparkly rhinestones. Hope you like it. Your comments are very much appreciated. tfl

WOW!!! Your bright colours caught my eye right away, and I think you balanced all your embellishments beautifully... rhinestones, ribbon, piercing, scalloped edge, dimensional to make the songbird "pop".... Each decoration adds another layer of that wow factor and none is overdone. This is a GORGEOUS card, and the sentiment is so true! I think you do a great job of watercolouring, by the way. I'm tucking this beauty into my favourites! tfs
