I have a second card to share for the current challenge at Retro Sketches. I love these fabulous Birds of Paradise from MFT and I have to admit it was even fun to color. I went out of the lines a wee bit so I hid that part under part of his cage. Lucy my Silhouette helped me out with the cage, I really like the looks of it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your week!
Love both of your cards, Kim. Wonderful use of texture, and that bird is so bright and beautiful.

ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Loving the embossed bases, just the right amount of texture!
ReplyDeleteYour first card is perfectly masculine. I seldom use bright colors for a manly card, but that's a great idea. Your second card is a combo of cute, elegant and CAS, so adorable and fun!
