I am fortunate enough to be able to stamp with Sharon (notimetostamp) on a regular basis. She is an inspiration to all of us. She does, however; know that I am not crazy about bird stamps... and that I had to do the inspiration challenge today in a light hearted way because of it. I was looking for an Easter picture in my Crafty Secrets stash and saw that I have several birds. So this one is for Sharon and her Friday challenge which is a sketch.
Thanks, Sharon. Her challenge can be found here: Blogs at Splitcoaststampers
BTW, I love what other people can do with birds...just not me.
Thanks for looking.

What a wonderful Card!!! I Love, love, love it!!! You have definitely portrayed in a beautiful way, just what Sharon describe in the challenge. Love that focal image and all the colors, embellishments you put in. I would be thrilled to get a card like this!! (You should do birds more often, don't ya think?) Thanks for sharing this beauty
