Bluebirds of Happiness

Hi and welcome!  Today is a great day - as it's my first challenge as a member of the fabulous design team at Fusion Card Challenge.  How cool is that?

This challenge is just gorgeous - a wonderful inspiration picture full of bright, beautiful colors and patterns and a fabulous and versatile sketch.

And here's my card:

I stuck with the colors and the bird theme and I also incorporated the sketch.  I loosely painted some Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber distress inks onto a panel of watercolor paper, leaving it to dry between colors.  Lastly, I flicked on some ink with my paintbrush.

Once I was happy with that, I stamped the row of birds onto a piece of X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copics, before fussy cutting it out and liberally coating it with Wink of Stella.  The sentiment was white embossed onto a stitched circle die and both pieces were popped up on foam tape.  Some enamel dots and my card was done.

Thanks for visiting.  The rest of the design team have some wonderful cards so be sure to check them out.
