I really liked today's inspiration challenge. There were so many cute little animals seen here: http://catherinesanimals.com/
I liked the little blue jay (# I know that my stamp is really a cardinal, but with blue coloring might pass as a blue jay. I made the background paper with colored pencils. I added a sentiment, brads and gold dots. Let me know what you think.

Wow, what a totally fantastic blue jay! I love them. All summer they're always in our by woods. This is no cardinal, girl. Get a grip! This just happens to be the best colored blue jay ever. Great card, MariLynn.

I think you made the bird into a delightful Blue Jay--one with a personality as sweet as a Cardinal's. I like the color of your magnolia blossom, too. Very pretty!

MariLynn this looks great. If you would not have said it was a cardinal I would have thought this was a blue jay. I LOVE both birds. They have such vibrant colors. Great job on this inspiration.
