This is my card for today's Sketch Challenge. So many possibilities for this one! I chose the A2 size and flipped it to vertical.
I cut all my rectangles with Nesties. I stamped the cardinal with Timber Brown Stazon onto watercolor paper and watercolored with reinkers and an Aquapainter. It's hard to see, but I added some Glossy Accents to the berries and his beak. I sponged lightly around the edges with Antique Linen and True Thyme, added brads and popped this panel up on foam tape. The background and small strips come from Basic Grey Wassail DP.
Thanks, Roxie, for another great sketch and TFL!

I'm with you.. a very versatile sketch. You can't go wrong with this gorgeous cardinal, either. I like the way the ribbon makes it look like a wrapped package. Very well done!
