A birthday card

for my husband!  I decided I wanted to do a masculine version of this plaid, and since he's been taking such good care of our birds outside this winter, I chose a sweet bird as the centerpiece.  After stamping it and coloring it in, I pulled the same colors out to make my plaid background.

supplies: white and dark wine cardstock, Winnie & Walter Stripes set to make my plaid, Hero Arts StoneWash, Teddy Bear brown, and Wplus9 Crushed Cranberry inks, Inkadinkado Bird Stamp, markers to color, Hero Arts sentiment from a discontinued Sparkle Clear Messages set, Simon's Stitched Rectangles

The spongings around the stamped image weren't originally planned, but when I colored in my berries, and then later picked up that panel, they smudged, so I added more smudging with some distress inks.

Thanks for stopping by!
