Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I fell in love with this bird. She and I have had lots of fun together
in the past week.
I used her for my Craft Group swaps coming up and couldn't resist using her
for my niece's birthday card.
In my quest for a design for my swaps, I tried different color embossed backgrounds.
This was a background that wasn't quite what I was looking for, for that design.
But I liked it for this.
I daubed white ink over the raised embossing. (Sometimes I got the background too.)
After watercoloring the bird, I cut the design with a hem stitch circle and cut a circle
of blue to peek through the holes.
It doesn't show in the photo, but there is glitter on the trim of her hat and in the
center of the embossed snowflakes.

This is adorable! That little bird is the cutest ever, but the snowflake background really makes your design pop!
What an adorable little birdie and he looks great in the hemstitch circle. Love the blue background and how you highlighted the snowflakes. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
He is so cute and his hat is adorable. I like the hemstitch and that embossed background too but my favorite thing about this card is the sweet red heart. That is just charming, Bonnie.
This made me chuckle, Bonnie. A hat on a bird is a fun thing to see and what a fancy hat it is. Great coloring and great design. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
