F4A294 = use at least two shades of purple on our focal point
MIX141 = use reinkers. I used them in my favorite way as "watercolors" with an aqua brush.
HYCCT1509 = a card that is mail-able. Almost all cards I make go for the minimum 1st class postage for a "letter" (A2, in my case). I have no desire to build a box to send some elaborate and highly dimensional creation. I make cards to send.

Wow. This is gorgeous! I would frame this one, it's so beautiful. I like the distressed edges with some sponging. The textured mat adds a nice touch. Your watercoloring amazes me. The birds and branch are awesome. Love this card! It is easy to mail, too. Thanks for sharing and caring by participating in HYCCT and my challenge.

My favourite way of using re-inkers, too. What a perfectly coloured, perfectly lovely bird image. The distressed edge looks really great, and way to go on using purples so beautifully.

As always, a beautiful work of art! Your recipients are fortunate to have you create cards for them. The golden edge gives a lovely antique feel to your beautiful birds.
