I love the look of framed images so much I did a second card for this challenge.
One of my favourite bird images is a Penny Black robin sitting on an old flower pot. I've used it to make a note card to send out around Christmas time to friends who've suffered a recent bereavement - somehow a "Merry Christmas" card just won't seem appropriate this year, but I still want to send them a card at Christmas.
I stamped the image on hot press watercolour paper and used my Gansai Tambi paints to colour it.
I die cut a pierced frame twice and glued them together for extra dimension. I finished off with a Quickie glue pen and glitter on the snowy bits.
It's also for the SCS Christmas Card Challenge where one of the optional September themes is birds.

Just perfect for someone at Christmas who is sad from a loss. I love this image. Your sky looks pretty, too.

Wonderful card, Susan! Your coloring skills are so nice and I love the image of the bird on the flower pot! I'm sure your friends will appreciate your thoughtfulness of it not necessarily being a very merry time.
