Hang in There

Above, a new picture taken outside.

I wish you could see better that the bird on the left is sitting on the branches. The bird is adhered to the top of the card and when flat it looks as if it's feet are resting on the branches. I drew in the branches. I am not sure what kind of birds these are and whether or not they are in a region that has evergreens! But that's the only tree branch I can draw. I sponged the sky with a torn piece of paper, sponge and bashful blue. I paper pierced the clothes and colored in the clothes pins with brown. Oh shoot, I forgot to add glossy accents to the beaks and feet. I better go back and do that!

  3. Karen, may I call Beth a dork? LOL!

    This is adorable. I love your evergreen branch & am totally cracking up that you aren't sure what kind of birds they are but they get evergreens! I think they are Touquins---Toucan Penguins---and they reside in parts of Wisconsin. :) I do love the card. I love the colors you used on it. I love the paper piecing! I have that DP! Must be a 3/15 thing. tee-hee. You really rocked this set.
