I treated myself recently to a Penny Black stamp I'd been eyeing for a while (even though I have more than enough bird stamps - but I just can't resist them!).
I bought it not realizing how big it is - hard to use on a regular A2 card so this is quite a bit larger. I kept it simple - stamped and watercoloured, trimmed with my Tim Holtz deckle edge trimmer, and added to a red card base. I added Glossy Accents to all the berries.

I love birds, too, and your trio of birds is so pretty. I love the red framing and you watercolored them so nicely.

I can see why you bought it! I like the big size for coloring. You did a terrific job with the coloring and adding just the right amount of bling on the greenery. TFS

Susan, this is a wonderful image and your coloring is so pretty. Love that they are each holding something different. Super Christmas card. Hugz
