My dear friend, Teresa (of Tickell Expressions,) drew this beautiful Goldfinch and shared it as a freebie on her blog earlier this week. I found some time last night to get him colored and he just comes to life! Go get the digi and color him yourself. You'll see what I mean.
This was going to be totally CAS with just the colored (ProMarkers) & die cut (QuicKutz) image and sentiment on the front of the card but then the lace and the little punched flowers crept on, and the flowers needed some leaves (Cheery Lynn), and then the butterfly (Cheery Lynn) danced by and lit on the top corner... Well, you've heard of "If you give a mouse a cookie..." right? It was kind of like that. :-D Still, it does have a lot of open space so maybe it is somewhat clean, hmmm?

I based this on the sketch from Mojo Monday,
turned a quarter turn.
