This is my card for today's sketch challenge. I loved the bird in the sample so I found my new INkandinkado stamp and used it for my version.
I cut out the tops and bottoms of the birds and popped that panel up above the funky fiber I used instead of paper in the cross panel area. The sentiment is hand written and the inside says "to you!"
I used gel pen to do the white accents and stickles on the birds to highlight them. They are stamped in chocolate chip and watercoloured in.
These are all little birds I see in my yard - a redwinged blackbird, a mourning dove, a cardinal adn a chickadee.
They make me smile every day when I see them. I really enjoyed this challenge and thanks for the inspiring sketch. Hope these little fellows make you smile too.

Cute card! I used to have all those birds in my yard too, when I lived near Niagara Falls. Now we have Canada bird, yellow grossbeaks, robins, sparrows, blackbirds, and a woodpecker!
