What an interesting site for this week's Inspiration Challenge. I chose the birds of Beebe Woods. I have relatives in Springfield, MA whose last names are Beebe. I was inspired by http://weefolk.files.wordpress.com/2...ebe-woods1.jpg. Dies used: SB Rectangle, Momenta Bird, MB Branch. The flowers are MS hydrangea punch. I used watercolor pencils and a water brush on the Robin and then fussy cut it's feet/legs, because they are rather fat on the die. Rated it a 3 because the Robin was very tedious. I may add a sentiment when I decide what occasion this will be used for, but for now I kind of like it plain - maybe any occasion?

Your robin is so pretty and lifelike..great job on the water coloring and the fussy cutting! I like the serene feel to this..and you're right it could be used for many occasions. Thanks for playing today!

beautiful take on these lovely birds of Bebe woods! That MB branch is quite perfect a die...and as for your robin...looks like the ones who visit my beauty berry to gorge themselves. They are definitely harbingers of Spring! I vote to keep your card just the way it is, Priscilla.

WOW! That robin is colored so beautifully! The color blending on the feathers is incredible! How realistic it looks! Amazing work, Priscilla and right into favorites!
