So my "National" holiday would be quotes and birds. If you know me at all, you know that I love quotes and I am becoming obsessed with bird watching! I decided to make a watercolor wash bg with the oxide inks and heat set it to dry...as I am impatient.Next, I stamped the bird. To add more color to the stamped image, I used the oxides with some water and painted the additional color onto the leaves and bird. I am so in love with the Colorado mountain bluebird....such a delightful little creature!

Quotes and birds works for me!! WE feed the birds daily, and when the seed gets low, the blue jays yell for more peanuts!! Lovely card with the words in the bg, mf!

Your card is beautiful to illustrate your "national day", Pam. Loe the soft, beautiful colors in the bg, overlaid with the text and topped by the sweet bluebird.

I second your National Quote and Bird day.....I would definitely celebrate that! I like your pretty distress oxide bg and that sweet bird....I'm a sucker for all the bird sounds, too..love waking up to their singing.
