This is wonderful, Maura. Your background is filled with interest and I'm in love with the vivid colors you've used. Plus, you have used that fab PB bird - mine has yet to see ink...

Such a beautiful card Maura. Your cards always pull me in with their vibrant colors . You have a talent for getting just the right mix of light and dark....great stenciling work, too.

Wow!!!! Gorgeous mixed media sponging, stamping and adding black details, Maura. I love your beautifully colored and fussy cut bird and grounding with bright colored layering and black CS grounding. Absolutely Stunning Stenciling and detailed card design! So pleased you joined us at STAMPlorations Stencil Anything Goes Challenge, my friend. Hugs...Nancy
