Now that she's received it, I can post the birthday card I made for Sabrina. Knowing that she loves birds made using this image an easy choice.
Really, there's no need for much of an explanation here. You can see every detail, except perhaps the sparkle from the shimmer spritz I applied with a small paintbrush.
As always, thanks for looking!

Since Sabrina loves birds, there couldn't have been a sweeter image to use on her birthday card. Your bird is beautifully colored and, even though it's resting on top of some colorful dsp, it sure stands out. Stunning and colorful card, Jody.

FANTASTIC, Jody!!! Love the intricate, folk-art type design of your patterns and bird image. A LOT of careful coloring here....but the impact is FAB! No doubt that Sabrina was blown away! : )

I am so glad I peeked in your gallery, JodyLynn. This is just gorgeous. Wobderful color choices, and the bird looks fantastic against the print dp. I don't know how you made the patterned bird stand out against the patterned dp, but it works perfectly. Faved

I just love this, Jody. I know you said the colouring was easy, but I am amazed at it. Planning to frame this once it's time to take birthday cards down. And yes, you couldn't go wrong with a bird ;-).
