This card was created for sketch challenge 684. I decided to make a Spring card, adding a few leaves to the branch my bluebird is perching on. I sponged on a blue sky, sponged the color on the die cut bird and built the little scene inside the tipped square panel. The white background is embossed with leaves - can you tell I'm yearning for Spring?!

Beautiful card with a springtime feel to it. Love the bird on the branch and how his tail extends beyond the squares. The leaf embossing on white is so pretty. Excellent sample card for the sketch. Thank you, Claudia. TFS

Love how you sponged the color onto the bird diecut. I am wishing an early spring. I hate cold and wet.

Love your whimsical, lacy bird die cut....and you have sponged on the colors so expertly, Claudia. I also like how you have the bird extending outside the edges of the square. A lovely card.

Claudia - This card is a celebration of spring - both with the theme & the colors. I love that delicate die cut branch and that fun robin. (I'm with you warm weather can't get here soon enough to suit me!!)
