Can you guess that I love this stamp set? I have several new sets that I know I should use, but I keep pulling this one out again and again.
Actually, I had stamped several of these Robins trying different techniques. I'm not sure I can even tell which technique was which! I think I inked this one with markers or watercolor crayons and spritzed before stamping on watercolor paper. Which ever it was, it was very light and not too appealing. So I pulled out my Stamp-a-majig and stamped over the
I used a mask before stamping the flowers around so he didn't look so bare.
The layout is from Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge 188
I also used the Stamping 411 Color Inspriation 149
I love this color combination and it seemed perfect for this image.

Gorgeous colors on the robin!! Very clean and elegant cards.
Oh, these robins are absolutely beautiful, Bonnie! I love seeing how you are using this new set in such different ways. :)
Love your coloring on the robin. My mom and I call each other when we see our first one of the season.
Bonnie, they're both lovely. I adore that image, but don't have it. Maybe it will be in my future. The Stamp-A-Majig came in very handy.
Awesome way to combine the challenges! You did an amazing job with that bird!
