I just love "funky" birds, so when I saw the CC471 I could hardly wait to color this image...I have been waiting for the right colors in the CC. I also made up the sentiment and thought itbwould go well with the CAS265 to use color blocking. Luckily, I didn't have time to work on it because then the WT showed up to make a long card and the F4A worked well with circles. I had to use copics, prisma pencils and distress markers since I didn't have all the colors in any one medium. When you are 55, you have a lot of friends that this would be an appropriate birthday card for.

Oh my gosh this is awesome! What an cute image and great sentiment, even for the over 40 group although I have exceeded that by a few decades! I love the colors! You made up that sentiment? Perfect! Love it!

This is hilarious, really made me smile. I love your image, perfect to use on a tall card when paired with the long tall sentment. Her long stripy legs and hat are so sweet! Love the way you used all the colours on the sentiment and even had coloured twine. But psst - I think it's the Friday F4A challenge which was circles, not the MIX61, which was monochromatic, LOL.

Who knew - I think I love funky birds too, because this is fabulous! I love your colours and the way you incorporated them behind the sentiment - so creatively done and very fun!

Are you trying out for challenge queen..lol...great way to combine all the challenges! This is so much fun, the bird with those fabulous dotted heels is very fashionable, the made up sentiment is hilarious and artfully colored, the tall card format perfect to accommodate the legs, the dot motif throughout the card is clever....your entire card a delight..love it Francie!
