For today's Sketch and this week's MMTPT. I stamped my bird in cantaloupe & his wing in coral, sponged in coral and added a pearl for his eye. The sprig punch was given to me by my friend, AudreyAnn (thanks, Audrey)! I decided to create a nest with it and used the leaf punch for branches. My bird has the words Delight, Love, Peace, Hope, Bliss & Faith written on his chest. I used the circle punch to look like there is a hole in the tree. The knots in the wood represent sequins. I'm actually giving this to Alice's husband since I sent a card her way last week. I know it will make him happy! Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

Love, love the white ferny foliage. Roberta, this is a great take on the sketch and a beautiful card. And yes, those near and dear ones also need love and support at a time like this; I am sure they will both appreciate this.

This is beautiful and perfectly masculine too.
You know when Chip was going through his health issues and was a teaparty recipient, I appreciated all the cards that were sent to me also. I'm glad you are sending this to M-A hubby. He will appreciate being thought of too.

Love what you did with your card Roberta. I love that wood bg stamp and never would have thought to use it to represent a bird house. Very very clever! Like the clean and crisp lines.
