Such a beautiful selection of colours for this challenge.
I think I managed to get them all on the coloured picture and the design paper too.
This card is called "Best Memories" - because I love sitting in the garden with my cup of coffee watching and listening to all the pretty little birds.
I coloured the sky with water colour paints along with the flowers using some watercolour pencils when darker shading was needed. The little bird of paradise was coloured in bright colours to make him stand out amongst the colourful flowers and foliage. The flowers, bird, gum nuts are all highlighted with sparkles too.
Hope you enjoy Spring in my garden
Hope you enjoy.

Oh, sweet Helen, what a beauty to behold! I LOVE this beautiful scene with the gorgeous flowers and that sweet bird! Yes, he holds his own with the vibrant colors! Helen, your coloring is exquisite, and I love the soft, muted DP you've used with the lovely frame and a wee bit of "out of the box." Stunning card, my friend, and I totally love it! (Yes, renovations are so stressful and hard to keep on plan, but we finally are done with the company as of today -- they finished their part. Now we do a little here and there and will get to use it on Thursday. You may hear me in the shower! Hehe!) Hugs and love, sweet friend, and enjoy the rest of the week! xoxo
