I have two cards to share with you today and I must apologize right away for the photo of my first card.

 was finishing it at the last minute and took the picture at night and it shows! PSS, I've gone back this morning and took a new photo, in the daylight! I've replaced the old dreary nighttime one, Yey! One of these days I just might figure out how to use a camera! :-)

The close up is a bit better. The other card is sort of whimsical and I had done it first a couple of week ago & took the picture in the daylight hours so it is much better.

The FSS store has added tons of lovely new images in the past couple of months ad you should check it out.

My goodness that Tracey is just sketching her fingers to the bone I tell ya!

I've used two different images today. The one with the tiny Blue birds is Emma the caroling Angel, which also includes these sweet little birdies. The flowers on that card are from a 2008 set of Foldy Flowers I had in my stash of goodies. The larger Bluebird card is made actually from a Christmas image called 

 Pair of Robins They are actually English Robins, but I used the un-colored stamp and made them into blue birds. Covered up the Pine boughs with a little acrylic paint, Fussy cut Hellebore's  or Lenten Roses, and presto, Bluebirds!

The Copics I used to color my images are as follows:

Bluebirds,

Beak-C5

Wing lines- 100 (black)

Blues- B18, 12, 21, 95, & a touch of B97

Foldy Flowers- V19, 04, 01 - R85, 83, 81, 59- Y17, 13, 000, YR02- BG15, 11, 111

Branch- E57, 53, 51, 23

Hellebore's -R35, 32, 30

Leaves- YG67, 63, 61, G20

I wish the picture showed the true colors of these flowers. They are Rosy peach, not orange at all! 

I have also used a Spellbinder, Pennant die, Cheery Lynn Flourish Leaf strip, MS border punch, Double Loops, and her grass scissors as well. Some papers from my stash, a little sponging of some clouds, and some K&Company Julianne DP. Hope you enjoy the hops today & maybe you'll be the winner of the great prizes!
