Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Ruby Red, Blush Blossom and Close to Cocoa. (We are allowed to add neutrals, so I used Very Vanilla!)
I think I can share with you the reason I used this image today. Yesterday, I received very disturbing news, and I just stood, numb, looking out the picture window in the living room into my garden. We have 6 fur babies in our home, all strays. They ALL huddled around me, like they knew something was wrong. Then, 6 ROBINS appeared at the birdbath! It was really amazing. It was like they just magically appeared.
It reminded me of the last conversation I had with Big Grand Dad before he died. He interupted my tirade, (about a fight with my ex), to tell me to breathe, and think of Robins playing in the birdbath in Spring. I immediately felt better!
Wow....That Speedy the Cat is now channeling my Grandfather!
So, the fact that Speedy the Cat put the bird stamp under the bath mat was NO surprise! LOL!
I stamped 2 images and I colored them with SU! markers and blended with an Aqua Painter. I cut one out and layered it.
