Free as a Bird~

Photo Details

Poster: stampin'nana

For today's colors: Petal Pink, Pool Party, Mint Macaron

I colored my image with stampin'blends and die-cut. Sponged edges with pool and for the crumb matting, I sponged with crumb cake then popped up over a layer of crumb cake embossed with subtle ef and sponged also. I added a white gel pen to the flowers' centers. Thanks for stopping by! ~Roberta

Oh Roberta, this is just lovely. Your birds remind me of the 2 bullfinches that graced my garden last year … like cute little peaches!

Beautiful coloring of these pretty birdies. They are perfect on that shape and I like the subtle embossing on your background panel. Such a pretty card!

Roberta, as the old saying goes 'birds of a feather flock together', I can imagine hearing their harmonizing melody sounding as beautiful as they are. Karen's colors were perfect for your choir of tweeters! TFS

The small birds are very happy with their colors and the surroundings. The wood-grain is a wonderful BG.
