Wow, are those photo contest photos stunning! I got lost in almost every one. After spending too much time gazing at their beauty, I chose this one as my inspiration. I used my FHTS Warbler and Magnolias digi and printed it on white paper. Colored the same colors as the photo and added some green circles as a bit of a bokeh look.

How lovely this is, Jen. I got really lost in all the beautiful photos too. Your card is "pretty as a picture".

You did a wonderful job with your inspiration and I love your pretty birdie on that branch. Your bokeh technique looks great.

I know! I spent so much time looking and reading that I didn't give myself much time for creating! This is gorgeous and so like the photo you chose! I love your warbler!

Hee hee, I got lost too, enjoyably of course! Jenn, this is so beautifully colored. You truly captured the essence of your inspired image. The subtle bokeh in the bg is lovely.

We both chose the same photo for our inspiration....but, of course, each gave it our own interpretation. Your card is lovely and very true to the original photo.
