I used this image (http://www.lang.com/product/1002130) from the songbirds cover as my inspiration for my card for this week's inspiration challenge. I really liked the photo, and by luck, I had this meadowlark on a stump stamp.
Overall I think I captured the feel of the inspriation piece, but I'm not really happy with how this came out. I think I overdid it with the stamping and the colors are just off. I think it's because my background is too light. I added blue chalk to give it a sky look but , I don't know... it just isn't working for me but I decided to finish it anyway.
IRL the background panel and image panel are the same color. I just couldn't get a good scan.
