Loving this Sketch today...
Since my Crocus are finally blooming, I guess I'm in a Spring flower color mode! And I do love these Finches that have been coming to my feeder with their bubbly song too!
I'm also loving these new backgrounds fromOur Daily Bread designs, this one is Chalkboard Vine stamped in Chalk Wisteria and Lime Pastel.
I colored the bird from He Watches Me with Copics, highlights with a little white gel pen and used the custom Sparrow Die to cut it out.
then....after finishing my card, I thought... why not make an envelope to match!! omgoodness... it took me longer to make that than the card!! LOL

Wonderful layering! I don't know if the crocuses in my yard have come out or not. Today there is brown - the snow has finally melted. I guess I need to go out there and look. Love that finch!
