When I heard about Eagles, for this weeks teaparty to help lift a fellow friend here...JulieGearinger...DH...Dave, I thought right away of ODBD's Eagle and verse so pretty. As I read they like it by mountains and streams...yum...fish...I needed a nice bg for this lil beauty to live. They ARE so pretty , only seen it once from a bit of a distance but so beautiful and graceful.
So I water colored him with browns and black, fussy cut him out and placed him over the verse behind clouds I sponged with paper towel that I had ripped, added the tips of trees and a touch of white paint on them as it is a wee bit chilly where he is and a wee bit of snow is around.
thanks for the visit and have a great day...:0)

They are trying to re-introduce eagles here, but sadly some of them have been killed. I've only seen them in Greece, and yes, so elegant. I was sure ODBD must have a stamp with this verse and was surprised I didn't have it, LOL, but I guess I would have so little need of an eagle that I didn't look properly at the set. I'm glad you had such a perfect stamp to make a perfect and beautiful card for Dave. Your positioning of the fussy-cut eagle is great.

Boy oh boy, Wendy, you really had the perfect image and Verse in this great ODBD set! LOVE how you fussy cut him out and have him soaring above the treetops! Since it is cold and snowing here, I can only imagine how cold and snowy it is there in Canada, so good idea to add a little snow on the trees! Dave is really going to appreciate all these wonderful cards - especially yours!

This is absolutely perfect for Dave! What a wonderful scene you created for your soaring eagle, and the verse is such a beautiful stamp. I know this will be so meaningful for Dave!
