ABC10U24: the letter for today is U. My U is a bird I have never heard of, the umbrella bird! I found a clip art image of one, printed it, and colored it lightly with Prismacolor pencils. I also sponged around the image.
I used today's sketch for my card and chose this color scheme so I could this Pacific Point panel that I made when I first got my Tufted ef.
The umbrella bird is popped up with dimensionals.
Thanks for looking!

How interesting that you found this. I have never heard of an umbrella bird either. That e.f. is really lovely and so consider me enabled, lol......Love the colors you used for this sketch.

You found a "U" bird....and made a great card around it. Think they are found in Central and South America, but are quite rare. That feather-covered wattle is exceptional. I have world-wide birding friends who have taught me a lot!

I have never heard of that bird either - must live in other parts of the world. But I love the way you 'quilted' the bg and the colors you used on the stripes and pennants!!

Super cute card! Do you still homeschool? I do. Now I cannot seem to find the time to be n my craft room. Really missing it. Seeing your card, being a homeschool mom myself, really inspires me.
