WT660 challenge-It' in My Favorites--Go through your favorites and create a card from another artist. My card is one from hobbydujour's gallery. It is a bluebird and she had cased the card from Lisa (Shoe Girl) for a featured stamper card. *FS454 HYCCT1518 Bluebird by hobbydujour at Splitcoaststampers I chose it for the bluebird and used my own design.
I love this stamp and have seen it used the way I am using it and also turned so the tree stands upward and the bird looks downward. I also love the Eastern bluebird (my favorite). I know he lives in open country and farmland near trees. Today he lit for a moment in the underbrush of the trees. The stamp doesn't say Eastern Bluebird but that is what it looks like to me so I colored it that way.
I'm also doing Stacy's (Twinshappy) monthly Christmas challenge. I love the theme which is Bbrrrrr. Think snowflakes, winter scenes, snowmen, mittens, scarves, anything that makes you cold.
CT1017--November's Fan Club central theme-I'm going with anything that gives you shivers. Snow and cold weather certainly give me shivers.

Thanks for selecting a card of mine from what must be a long favorites list, Brenda. Yours is MUCH prettier and better done than mine. Almost a stained glass effect with the bold dark image lines and your beautiful coloring within.

Gorgeous card Brenda. I love blue birds they are so much a part of the south. I haven't seen one blue bird since I've moved north. One more reason to be home sick for the south and the fact it snowed on Halloween. Your coloring is awesome.

Sweet bird stamp, Brenda, and such wonderful colouring. Brrr, it's making me feel cold to look at. I took it for a European robin before reading your write-up, ours are very much that shape and stance.
