This was made for Sketch Challenge 91. Hope you like it. I didn't think this uploaded, sorry. The gallery was wonky last night so I assumed it never went through. I used fine lace bg with bashful blue ink then used weathered bg with caribbean ink. On top of that the two rectangles are Joann's stack pack paper edged in black, the Cardinal was made with versamark and black ep. Then I used WWC to color the image and right behind. Then I used Snow-Tex and painted it onto the picture as though this guy is sitting in a snowfall. Ribbon and brads to compliment the colors in the bird. Thought the ribbon helped frame the bird. Gold gel pen for the center of the berries.

Really pretty. The reds you used really set off the image well - love the embellishments too and had never thought about off setting the frame like that. TFS
