The card I made today is for two challenges. The first one being ways to use it. School tools. I took my inspiration from this card I favored from Biggan...... DTGD12suzannejdean Love You by Biggan at Splitcoaststampers
Using the most basic school tool....a no. 2 pencil. I tried the telescoping technique. It is not perfect, but it was fun. The next challenge for fan club was to make a card that reminds you of something in your neighborhood. My elderly neighbor a young 95 lives alone and has a hobby of feeding and taking care of birds. He had many bird houses in his yard. I benefit from his efforts, because the birds fly into our yard too. I colored my image with no. 2 pencil and highlighted the heart with red copics. Added the sentiment and ribbon. tfl

Linda, those shades of grey with the pop of red are just beautiful.
I love watching birds in the garden - how nice that you benefit from your neighbour.

I can't believe you colored that with a no. 2 pencil! That is amazing work! I would never have thought of trying that. It's beautiful and I love the red ribbon and red heart.
