I had so much fun with these challenges! I took a different approach to the create your own stamp. 11 year old Brianna draws constantly. I was particularly impressed with the expression and detail she uses in her critters' eyes including the highlights. She loves drawing imaginary critters. She gave me this sketch of a parrot drawn in pencil on typing paper. I scanned it, resized it and made myself a digital stamp. The artwork is all hers as she drew it. He is colored with copics and pencils Background is done with distress inks and water. A stencil was used on portions of it. I used a piece of splicing thread from lacing rugs and died it in distress reinker. How neat that I now have a source of original, digital stamps! Thank you Brianna Stislow!

I love this delightful bird and how special that you created it from your granddaughter's drawing! I can only image how tickled she must be to see her art enhancing yours!
The colors, layout, and stitching are divine, Nancy! What a remarkable standout in today's color challenge gallery!

Wow! The girl has talent, but no less than yours. I love this. Your cards are always neat as a pin - something I couldn't even develope if I tried. I love the stitching and bow and colorful bird.
