For me, nothing says "spring" better than watching the sparrows and meadowlarks build their new nests, flitting in and out of the birdhouses which hang from the tree branches near my house. "Bird Nest or Bird House" is the new theme for our challenge which begins today at FarmQuest. As usual, our underlying theme is "Farm or Country."
I chose an image from my rather large collection of digital stamps from Beccy's Place. I added color with alcohol markers, pencil, and gel pen, then fussy cut it with scissors. I layered it onto a scrap of brown dp (Recollections), die cut the scrap with a Spellbinders die, and used a Fiskars punch on the corners.
The pink dp is also a scrap and I have no idea what company made that paper. The ribbon came from Really Reasonable Ribbon which I used to both wrap the card front and to make the bow. I added a large sequin to the bow and called it finished!

Fabulous colour combination NanaConnie, love the brown and pink! You did a fantastic job colouring the image, I particularly like the high shine you added to each of the berries. Wonderful background paper too.
Cheers,
