A Goldfinch for CAS Mix Up

We're nearing the deadline to enter this month at CAS Mix Up.
The challenge ends on the 24th.

Here's my last card (for now) using corrugated cardboard.

This is the last watercolor piece I did on our recent trip.

I thought he would do well as a goldfinch.

The goldfinches in our yard are more olive and brown in the winter.

In the spring they start getting their yellow feathers and they

look quite patchwork as they are turning.

I noticed one recently that had 3 "patches" on his back.

(No photo though.)

I mounted the die cut watercolor piece on a piece of 

corrugated cardboard cut from a box of NBUS.

Susan's challenge has been lots of fun!

My mixed media are stamping, corrugated cardboard, watercoloring, and die cutting.

Here's a photo of the real thing in his summer feathers.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
