For both of Friday's challenges:
Free 4 all - Use Big Words - I used a big birthday sentiment from PTI.
Mix 293 - Sweet Inspiration - be inspired by the art work of Wayne Thiebaud
I was inspired by this colorful bird on the Pinterest site Polly provided for us.
I tried to color my water color paper die cut bird the way his was colored, by smooshing my bird into Distress Inks on my craft mat spritzed with water.
I also stenciled on a panel of watercolor card, stamped my large sentiment, and added red enamel dots.
I embossed both the bird and the edges of the panel with Vintage Beeswax Baked Texture Embossing powder - which gives a nice mottled texture as well as a shine!

Not sure how I missed this awesome card, Julia. I love the bird and the very cool feel of everything including that stencil. Lovely work!!!
