Dripped reinkers on mixed media paper and sprayed with water. After it dried, sponged on more color. Once again, trying for a Susie background. Found legs on the internet along with shoes and a soccer ball. Colored the bird and cut him out. Printed the legs and shoes, colored and fussy cut. Stamped the bird on the background and added the fussy cut pieces and added the shoe laces. Then stamped the Jofy stamps and PB branches and painted with Cosmic paint. So surprised that these shiny paints are opaque and do a great job coloring over black embossing! This was so fun to do but found out the little guy this is for no longer plays soccer but is into football instead. Thanks for looking!

Anyone who can create backgrounds and crazy bird scenes like this doesn't need water color lessons from me! (she laughs). Seriously, Nancy, you can come color with me any time you want. I promise to be a good student! Wonderful, whimsical card! Great gallery!

So many wonderful touches on this from the checkerboard in the sky down to the laces on the shoes. Wonderful use of line art too - this is sooo fun and amazing. Love your cards, my friend. Hugz
