Assuming this has arrived as other stuff posted the same day has. The embossed background was sent for me to use - thank you, Pat. I immediately thought it called for a bird, and will make one of the spare pieces up into a Christmas card with a robin. But for this one, I coloured all the green foliage with a Sharpie. Scored the base to pick up on the trellis in the embossed panel, and edged it with Stickles. Edged the embossed panel with a gel pen, and added a die-cut border so that it would better fill a 7" x 5" card. Topped it off with the bird - glossy photo paper smooshed into DOX inks wrinkle-free distress style, and then with the oxidation rubbed off to give vibrant colours. Took me a lot of experimenting to find a suitable photo paper because the one I have most of, needless to say, didn't work.

Wow. The dry embossed panel of leaves is wonderful and gives me ideas....the bright bird really pops here. Seems like you did 100 techniques as always lol. Not really but a lot!

This is even more spectacular in person! I am just crazy about that bird!!! Sabrina, amazing and outstanding way to rise to the challenge. I plan on framing this to hang.
