I know, I'm slow, but after yap, yap, yapping about wanting to try these (for a very long time!!), I finally got down to business and used a set that had never seen ink either (shameful but true). I don't know what was going on yesterday, but I spent more time trying to salvage my work...Cant' tell you how many layers and mediums of color went on that bird and I'm not sure there is any paper left under all that color medium!! I do like how it turned out in the end and I must say, I'm hooked!!

It turned out so beautifully! Bet your second one will go much faster.....that's the way it seems to be. Love your rich vintage colors and all the wonderful details. Your bird is stunning.

Wow! And what a beauty. I just LOVE birds and yours is gorgeous, as is everything about this card. I guess you'll have a lot more easel cards showing up on your gallery now. I really like them, too. Haven't made one in a while.

Sister! Oh MAN! Layers of gorgeousness indeed! And an easel, be still my heart! Gorgeous. Love this corner with all the blooms and lace and a yummy brad too! Delish. Your soft sponging around the images just punched them right up, and your colors are so rich and deep. SO glad you had this time! Love it! hugs.....
