ODBDSLC178

This weeks challenge on Our Daily Bread was to use the sketch they provided. When I saw the sketch my mind went to an image that I thought would be great for this and so I started my card and realized after coloring the image that it wouldn't work right with the sketch, so I thought well I will just flip the sketch, well it didn't quite work that way so I just went with how it will work on the card.

I inked the embossing folder so that the background would be green, then I used chalk to color in the birds and swirls, can you believe it no pattern paper in sight... LOL

Our Daily Bread Designs -- Book Mark Trees stamp and die
Spellbinders -- Sunflower set two ( behind the tag)
Cuttlebug -- Birds and Swirls embossing folder
Distress ink --Mowed Lawn
Sheer Ribbon -- JoAnns brand
Hero Arts -- It's your birthday sentiment stamp

I wish you all a wonderful weekend
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leaving your comments :)
