todays inspiration challenge-Charm School Dropout.. this is my inspiration
I drew the flowers and stems, colored them with a white prisma pencil, I didn't blend with gamsol. stamp over that with linen bg stamp and mellow moss ink.
the bird and branch are colored with gamsol/prisma pencils, cut out and popped up.
I stamped the linen a couple of times for the shadow along one edge and framed it all in white like the framed picture in her gallery.
what do you think?
thanks for stopping by~it makes my day!

This card is just gorgeous. I love the way you played down the dandelions and highlighted the bird. Such a peaceful feeling to this card. Great colors.
