I am actually very pleased with the coloring on this bird for my friend at church, I watercolored it with the spectrum aqua markers and then cut it out, everything seemed to blend so well.

We are on our last day of VBS, it has been a good week, very tiring week but a good one. My knees are telling me they are thankful this is the last day. I hope to get caught up on all your blogs very soon.... I don't know how you women that work and have young kids do it all, I applaud you :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
Connie

Oh, Connie, what a beautiful card, and I just love this sweet bird. Yes, it's beautifully colored and so realistic. And I love the doily with the MS punch border in black with the HB dies too. Beautiful background paper to tie it all together. Beautifully done, my friend. Ah, yes, VBS is a LOT of work, and it's hard work too but such a blessing to so many children and their families. Well, women who work and have young kids are younger than we are, my friend. That's one thing. Ha! Wishing you a restful weekend to catch up on sleep and relax! Hugs!
How lovely! The darker brown and black accents always pop out the beautiful soft colors. Your bird is truly beautifully done, Connie! The doily is a perfect splash of white to bring out Nature's best in your card. Thanks for sharing, Connie! hugs, de
Hi Connie, So pretty!! What a gorgeous card filled with outstanding details. The lace background just makes the bird pop. A birthday card to treasure.
Enjoy the last days of VBS. Wishing you a great weekend ahead. Blessings xo
you know i love this card, and the watercolor effect is beautiful!!! ooooh and the lace, i really like the lace!!!
I love anything that has to do with birds, and this is a really beautiful stamp. Your coloring turned out great and I love how you cut it out and set it against the doily. That little leafy border strip is just perfect and it all looks wonderful with the designer paper you chose!
What a lovely die cut doily with your pretty colored bird Connie.
Hugs Diane
