I had so much fun with this card. Again, I used the cling wrap technique by swiping my oxide inks onto the cling wrap, misting with water, and swiping my watercolor paper through it.
I used a coordinating stamp and die cut set mentioned below. I colored the bird to be an Eastern bluebird which we have where I live. And, that is one in my inspiration. I colored the bird, flower, and branch with Copics. All was die cut and placed on the background.
I added the verse and it was finished.

Oh my, your bluebird and blossom are just outstanding against that vivid blue background! We have bluebirds, too, and two bluebird houses; they are such beautiful creatures!

Beautiful! My brother in Michigan gets bluebirds in winter, not so much in summer. Meal worms and open water helps attract them. He even rescued one a couple of weeks ago.

Lovely card, Brenda. They are our state bird, but rarely see them in the city. You did an accurate job of coloring him...as well as the beautiful peony.
