Cathy is our hostess for this week's WTUI challenge: you can find out all about it HERE.
DH gave me the Katzel birds for my birthday and this one was his favourite, so I thought I'd ink it up - it's stamped and embossed with clear EP on watercolour paper and I used Mermaid markers for vibrant colour. The Paris papers were a birthday gift from Di last year and seemed a good choice. I added some vellum clouds and some summer sunshine, and a sentiment from a set I bought in Paris a few years ago, Added the Eiffel tower in the background and gave the bird a dapper bow tie. Doodled the border and that's it - I'll probably send this to my sister before her trip over there later in the summer.

Wonderful collage of Paris! Love the vellum clouds, clever and unique. Monsieur bird is beautifully colored and looking so fine and handsome with his bowtie; in fact, he looks as though he might be getting photographed for Esquire magazine. Fabulous elements, Sabrina, and lucky you having been to Paris!

Nice coloring on that cute little bird, the fancy bow tie is a perfect touch. He's ready for a night on the town in Paris. I really like the vellum clouds, will be copying that!

I always love your doodled borders, Sabrina, and this one is especially creative. That is one gorgeous, bright bird...showcasing your fabulous coloring. I love the Paris look.

Cute theme for your card, Sabrina. Beautiful dapper fellow there. I have to say, your doodling reminds me of barbed wire that is run across the top of fences so that animals will stay within their boundaries.
