I made this card for my Sugar Creek Hollow design team sketch challenge. I chose the barn swallow for my image and Blessings to you for my sentiment. I know a barn swallow is not red but let's just say I used my artistic license because I wanted to use these specific DP for this card. I love bird watching so I was instantly drawn to this stamp. I thought I'd give my copics a break and used watercolor pencils to color him in. I'm really starting to like sketch challenges. It kind of speeds things along having your layout all planned before you sit down and start your card. I usually make 2 cards when I make a card. It's just as easy to do two as one but I always switch something up just a bit so that I can see each card is one of a kind. The second strayed from the sketch a bit but it's still pretty close. Hope you like them.

Beautifully done as usual Renee - you have a special talent. I love your coloring with the pencils - such a soft look for the swallow. And your embellishments are wonderful. The card has a whole rustic look/feel to it that I love.
Hello my friend...I am once again back here and I must say that your card is just over-the-top this week. You have a great eye for mixing patterns and textures of DP and that is what makes your cards stand out. Your coloring on Hilary's little bird is just the perfect compliment to the softness of your card. Thanks so much for what you do. Glad I found you!!! Tracy
