It's always great when opening Audrie's inspiration challenge....always a treat for the artistic mind. Went to bed with the beautiful white peacock in my mind....was going to make a wedding card. This morning went out to check the weather....wow it was beautiful. Took my cup of coffee and sat for awhile, just enjoying the beautiful warm morning. As I was sitting there, four robins started to chirp and hop around. Spring has come.))) It was a sign to drop the peacock and go with a robin. This is the pic for the inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/177962622746907314/
Took a pic from a calendar, and with a light box traced the image. Colored with reinkers. This will be my DIL birthday card. I'm off with my Granddaughter to go and look for willows. Will be back later. TFL

Beautiful Linda!! I'm so glad you chose the robin!! Hee! They are pretty plain birds but they DO welcome in spring and have pretty little eggs don't they! They always make me happy! I was always teased in school about my name and the most embarrassing one was robin red breast! OMGosh, that would make me want to go run and hide...I was a VERY shy little girl!

Stunning watercolor card. The Robin is beautiful. OH NO, I think I got rid of my light box, never thought of tracing a picture, so very clever. Love the layers too.
Thanks so much for the heads up this week for the favorites, that Anne Ryan is a sweetheart.
