Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
Last night was the coldest night in Jacksonville that I can remember. The HEATER ran ALL NIGHT! Yikes! And, just a note here...The a/c ran ALL LAST WEEK! LOL So, last evening we put a heater in the laundry room, (we live in a VERY old home, and the laundry room is off the garage OUTSIDE!), for the feral cats. And, we put extra food in the bird feeders. We were actually feeding the squirrel family, and we KNEW it. But if you put food in the squirrel feeder, the birds eat it and if you put food in the bird feeders, the squirrels get it! LOL! Besides, it's fun to watch the squirrels get into the "squirrel proof" bird feeders. They are quite inventive!
The image was stamped in Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink and colored in with Copic Markers. Then, it was cut out, pieces rearranged and adhered to the panel with foam tape.
The embossed panel is from Paper Passport. The designer papers are K&Company.

Geez, Faith, I know I appreciate your talent and design but even more than that I appreciate, admire, and covet your patience and skill in cutting out that bird image. It is cold as all get out here in Brooksville, too--expecting 20s tonight!

Fantastic, Faith! Love the bird and your wonderful backgrounds. IKWYM about the birds and squirrels. We feed both and lately they are eating us out of house and home. This morning, a mama deer and her twin fawns came up to the back deck near the bird feeder to see if anything was left. I'm gonna need a lot more critter food at this rate, lol.
