A Happy Bee Eater~

Photo Details

Poster: stampin'nana

I'm delighted to be a part of the sketch team designers for the next 4 months! I Love this Long Beak Bee Eater, and the fact they are different color combinations. I water Colored him then cut him out, stamped him again onto white cs and colored the limb and added flowers with pearled centers. I sponged around the sentiment, added white twine tying on the inside. The bird and sentiment are popped up. IBBG was added to the card base using tangerine. Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

Love the way your bird goes "out of the box" and the pretty little flowers add a nice touch too.

Beautiful. I have struggled with coloring this guy. You totally nailed it, and those delicate flowers are so sweet and tender.

I like your simple yet oh so effective design. The bee eater is colored perfectly and highlighted by the orange pattern dp.

Love the way you colored him, Roberta! What a cool way to use this stamp! Your layout is fantastic too, letting your image take center stage.

Oh this is so lovely! Your colour palette is beautiful. I too love the way you have coloured your bird and had him come 'out of the box'! I really like the way your twine repeats the bird's perch and really anchors the design. Great card!
