I actually was trying to make a card for the sketch using today's colors but my proportions of the main panel were way off so this is what I came up with. I just got this stamp set this afternoon and had to use it right away! I inked the trees with Versamark, then inked it with Close to Cocoa ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I sponged bashful Blue all over the image panel and stamped the birds using Ruby Red. I embossed the right side with a Cuttlebug border embossing folder. The panel is matted with Soft Suede.
Now I'll try the sketch again!! LOL

Those birds in the trees are spectacular. You did a marvelous colouring job. Love the Winter border from Cuttlebug, and the way you used it. Love the way you framed the whole scene. TFS
Harriet, this is absolutely gorgeous. That embossing on the side just is the perfect touch to your beautiful image. Isn't it fun to play with new stamps. This one is gorgeous.
