It's Merry Monday time.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Sue is our hostess at Merry Monday this week
and this is her challenge
Isn't that a pretty bird?
I used a Brusho background from my stash and stamped the Winterberry stamp on it
with red ink and went over the branches with a brown marker.
I die cut this little bird from a snippet of leftover inked and stamped background
that was also in my stash.
I added lots of Dazzling Details to the branches so they look very icy.
I'll take my snippets over to
Enjoy!

Such a pretty wintry scene Bonnie, this is a lovely card.
So pretty Bonnie. Love it. Have a great week.
Gorgeous Brusho background, and I love the pop of red with the berries, Bonnie! Loving all the sparkle you added, too...Really stunning card and lovely take on the inspiration photo!
Beautiful background and Watercoloring Bonnie! Perfect sentiment!
Wow, what a beautiful card Bonnie! Your brusho background is just so pretty. I really need to add some more colors to the ones I have and play some more with them. Your bird and bush is just stunning against that background. Sorry I've been MIA for so long. Thanks also for your kinds words on my blog. Yes, I do believe that Savannah was part of God's plan even if I didn't want her at the time. Funny how that goes! Hugs, Brenda
What a pretty wee scene Bonnie, and the words are from one of my favourite carols, which makes the card appeal to me even more.
Blessings

gorgeous card :) i love the background you have created! stunning
You are really nailing the use of the brusho's, fabulous background x Love the red berry tree/shrub against the blue x
Love your Brusho background with the berries and your sweet little bird Bonnie. Fabulous Christmas card.
Bonnie, this is so sweet and perfect! Love your berries and your gorgeous background!!
So beautiful! Especially the red berries and sparkly branches. And a gorgeous watercolour background too.
I thought your little bird was felt at first since that paper looks so soft. Your card is lovely, oh so lovely and fine.
Dear Bonnie,
This background is stunning! I love to set the background color, so incredibly merge into each other. All elements of the card to fit together perfectly. Great card and beautiful inspiration.

Bonnie, just beautiful and "wintery". Inspiration to use my brusho and other backgrounds! Thank you.
Love that sentiment with the bird in the bush, Bonnie. I've been playing with Brushos but haven't achieved a great panel like this - yet.
Great Brusho background for your sweet little winter bird perched on the fabulous berry bushes. The branches look VERY icy, indeed. The brusho made a wonderful winter sky for this stamping! Great take on your challenge picture. TFS & Hugs
This is SO pretty Bonnie! I love how you inked up the Winterberry stamp in red and then went over it with a brown marker for the branches...I have this stamp also and have always made such a muddy mess with it! I will definitely try it your way next time!! :0) Hope you're having a great week!!
Such a pretty background Bonnie. It reminds me of your two challenge blogs that I have not had time to participate in. Maybe soon!
This is just gorgeous Bonnie!
Wow! Just beautiful xxx
Your card is exquisite; from the background all the way to the bird. Your choice of colors are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
