{Embellish Magazine} color challenge with birds

The colors for the {Embellish Magazine}challenge are pink, brown, and green, and we are to incorporate birds.





After I finished my card, and as I was preparing to make this post, I read on the challenge that the winners would have their "hot" projects highlighted.   That made me giggle; hot this isn't, but it made me happy while making it......still humming that lovely old tune.  I used a favorite Inkadinkado bird and a Denami note stamp, and my sentiment is computer generated using the English calligraphy script font, found here.  The background paper has birds and branches in it.

Oh Lin you gave me a good laugh with the "hot" comment! Your card is gorgeous! The bird image is beautiful and I love the way you have coloured it and distressed around it. I didn't know that song but just looked it up on YouTube. It's beautiful and I love that you used it as the sentiment on your card!
