DTGD22JRHolbrookB = Christmas card with animal and/or birds
DTGD22SunstamperB = have a critter on the card.
Since the above two DTGD22 challenges were quite similar, I chose to make only one card. I admire those of you who are much more ambitious! : )
The bg was done with the faux suede technique. It makes the paper quite fragile so I just did a little shading and splattering. The main image was stamped on watercolor paper and watercolored. I then cut it out and mounted it onto the faux suede panel.

That is just so beautiful, Sallie. And I'm betting the texture in the background is wonderful to feel. Great fussy-cutting of your beautiful bird image to layer onto it.
