The featured stamper this week is Ann (Dockside). She has a beautiful gallery. She graces the challenge gallery often. Here is a card that I tried to case. Four Winter Chickadees by Dockside at Splitcoaststampers
I needed a bird stamp that was larger than any I have, so I took and stamped the image and scanned it to make it larger. I then printed on greyblue linen paper. Colored with chalks and added the cherry blossoms with acrylic paints. Watercolored the bg with water color pencils. Enjoy your well deserved reign Ann.

WOW! I love that technique for enlarging stamps, Linda and I'll never tire of seeing your hand painted blossoms! The birds are colored so beautifully and love the background! Curious how the printer ink didn't smear! That's one I haven't figured out yet!
Right into favorites!

Oh, Linda, this is absolutely gorgeous, and I LOVE how you've made the birds larger and used the linen paper to add such wonderful texture for your amazing coloring! It's exquisite and such a lovely card to make for sweet Ann (Dockside), Featured Stamper! Stunning! Hugs, sweet friend!
