Teresa's Birds

     Earlier this week, I posted a card I had done using a lovely Goldfinch image for TNT Artspirations.  If you missed that post, you can see it by clicking HERE.  In that post, I promised to share with you two other incarnations of that same image but turning it into 2 completely different birds, one an Oriole and the other a Meadowlark.  Here's the Oriole first in his lovely autumn colors.

Colored w ProMarkers

    And here's the Meadowlark, with the image reversed.

This card is based on the sketch at My Favorite Things.

I originally had the mats offset and at an angle behind the image 

but it just looked too confusing with the wonky shapes.
