This is a gift for someone who loves birds like I do. I dont have any of those wonderful bird stamps(gotta fix that!), so I set to work using an actual photo of a bird. Traced it to Black CS and cut it out. For the BG I used many, many layers of pigment inks (I think 9 total) to blend until I was happy. I felt like I was painting! Im not sure if I will leave it like this and make it a card( it is 4x or perhaps frame it for her. You can see a bits of glue on it in pic as it was still drying when I took the photo. It is very vivid in person. It was time consuming because of color blending, but was worth it in the end. Any suggestions should I add a sentiment andmake it a card? Or frame it? Thanks!

I would so frame this beauty and keep it! but I'm sure it you put it into a frame your friend will enjoy it much longer than she would a card. We tend to stick cards away after displaying them for awhile. This is completely stunning.
