What a fun challenge today Joan! I started this card on Sunday but it needed something extra. Running it through the CB with a polka dot style EB and wal-la. That was just the ticket! hehe
You see I was trying a technique I saw in a magazine only instead of cutting my parts out of fabric and actually sewing them, I used misc dp and faux stitching. Found the "fabric" with a dot on it circle for the eye in my button container. Imagine that.
Punched out a small cloud and used the negative for a stencil to draw my clouds. Used my Mutnik hill stencil for the hills. Color was added with chalk pastels and a Q-tip.
Used a black copic for the border and a pen for the doodling. Put this all on a blue AC card.
Thanks again Joan for the fun challenge. Hope everyone is having a great Monday!....TFL :0)

Cathy, this little bird has such joie de vive! Love how you pieced and "sewed" him. Your artistic talents always add such personality to your cards. The bg embossed polka dots do add the finishing touch.

How cute, Cathy! I love your big whimsical bird. I was just wondering about you cause it's been so long since I've run into you in the challenges. Good to see you!
