I have to start by saying that this bird is meant to be a Cardinal - now, as we do not have them here in Australia I am not 100 percent sure if it is, I hunted through my RAK's trying to find one and this was the closest one I had!
Have you guessed that this is for Teapot Tuesday: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
It is also for The Twisted Sister Challenge this week where we are to use leather and lace - I have used the animal skin DP and that gorgeous lace ...and have been inspired by the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge: http://flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/
Where this week the lovely Silke has given us a sketch to use....so I am feeling pretty good with all of this! The colours are from CC245, I don't have the exact colours but have gone as close as I can!!
A layered flower was added to the corner of the image and Kaiser pearls added to the centre.
There you have it - very simple....I am so pleased to have it finished, I don't like being late with challenges!
Thank you for looking and for your lovely comments - you are always so encouraging!!! It is Saturday evening here and cooling down after a HOT day - I hope your day is a good one! God bless you!
