This is for Susie L's (paperpunchscissors) beautiful challenge - some days there won't be a song in your heart.
The Australian bush is full of birds that make the most amazing music and Dina's beautiful stamp reminds of all the lovely sounds.
Started this card by stamping the birds with Versamark and embossing with black EP. I then used my sponge blending tools and scrubbed yellow and orange distress ink in the centre, followed by purple, then I scrubbed lots of blue and turquise distress inks until it looked right. I did not use any water or wipes on this card.
Using my IndigoBlu garden stamp I stamped at the bottom of the card, then turned the stamp upside down and added a little bit at the top of the card. A double doodled border was added using a fine micron pen.
Thank you for looking. I hope you are joining in the fun this month. This challenge and all the challenges to date can be found here .

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them... Are we not of more value to the Father?
If the Father has given all this to the birds of the air (including a song in their hearts), and He is mindful of their needs, then how much more does He care for our well being? A picture is worth a thousand words my friend, and this image is a powerful reminder of the Father's deep love for his creation. He will give us the strength and courage to lift our voice in song (if only in a whisper) when all seems the darkest.
Thank you so much for playing in my challenge: Heart Song. I appreciate your time and talent, Susie.
