This is my submission for SCS Color Challenge, CC572, Getting Real Wild in the Mist on the Pacific.
I wanted a scene with a Blue Jay; however, I don't have a blue jay stamp. Therefore, I decided to use a StampinÂ’ Up! cardinal stamp to create one. I colored the blue jay and the twig with copics, and the sky and tree-filled "mountains" with Marina Mist, Pacific Point, and Wild Wasiba, respectively. I added three SU Brights Real Red Candy Dots to pull in some red as well as created a Happy Birthday sentiment with Real Red CS.
Enjoy, and thanks for commenting!!

You've created a very lovely scene Bev! Marvelous coloring and use of the colors, the pop of red for just the sentiment and berries is really effective.
