For today's Technique Challenge to emboss and watercolor our image. Mine was embossed in black and watercolored with SU reinkers (in colors listed below). The little bird holding the twig is from some old acrylic stamp set, and I've forgotten the name. A guy at work asked me to make him a general notecard with a bluebird of happiness holding a twig, so I hope he likes this!
Thanks, Beth! This was a fun challenge!
Thank YOU for looking!

Charlene, if someone asked me to make a notecard with all these requirements, I'd be forced to tell him where to go in no uncertain terms! Lovely colors beautifully blended to create such texture and presentation. Oooh, great card!
