Well, I'm the hostess this week and I issued a challenge to make your own background using stamps.
I stamped the branch from Stampin Up's Best Blossoms with Moss Green Colorbox ink. Next, I stamped it with Stampin Up's Canvas background - did the same thing on the Spellbinder background.
I picked up this freebie before I actually started collecting digis and I do not remember where I got it. I now put the name of the artist in my digi file name so I can credit these remarkable people! I think he is absolutely adorable. He is colored with Copics. Hope you like it.

Vicky, this is super! I love the canvas background and who wouldn't love the bird sporting that hat. That is really a beautiful branch..would like to find one like it.

Why, he is the best dressed GQ bird I've seen - with his spiffy and sporty hat and you colored him to perfection. Your BG is awesome, as are the cute little flowers and ribbon!
