Our featured stamper is Nancy who has a lovely gallery full of rich, detailed, often vintage looking cards. I was inspired by her bird framed with embossing on this card: Cardinal Greetings by nwilliams6 at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the bird and the frame and went a little less vintage with my white background. I also decided to put my main sentiment on the inside of the card rather than the front.
Thanks for the inspiration, Nancy!
After embossing the frame, I stamped, and colored with copics - can't get much simpler than that! Added glitter glue to the berries which adds a lovely sparkle. I decided to put my main sentiment on the inside of the card.

What a pretty frame for your beautifully colored bird. I think it's cool when stampers case the same card and have such different results. I love how we pit our own spin on a design. Cool being gallery neighbors too.

Oh super colouring of this beautiful image. I have it and find it a challenge to colour and use on a card front. I really like that you used a white background. It lets your clear bright colouring shine!
