First I saw the LSC challenge to be inspired by US Presidents - that one required a bit of research considering I am a Non-American!! Did you know that President Thomas Jefferson had a Mockingbird called 'Dick' that lived in the Study of the White House???? Neither did I!
Then I saw the IC challenge to be inspired by Geninne's Etsy Store - and what do you know.....it's BIRDS!! THIS ONE even looked a bit like a mockingbird!!!
So there you go, I used ODBD's bird (OK, yes it is meant to be a sparrow, but I used a bit of artistic licence) and made this card into a mockingbird card!!!

For sure, that is a fact I did not know...a bird named Dick. That just doesn't seem like a bird's name. Very interesting fact. Your card is just stunning with the beautiful colors you used and I just love birds. Your ribbon is magnificent.
A most gorgeous card!!!!
