Hello, sweet friends!  Hope your week is going well so far!  Our Inspired By challenge is a "tweet" one for sure!  Check this out....isn't he a cutie?

 

I knew just what stamp set I wanted to use, so I set to work, stamping my little bird on some watercolor paper with Stazon ink and coloring him in:

Yes, it's our little friend from Free as a Bird!  Here's a closeup:

I colored him with blue hues of Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight and Pacific Point, then added Flirty Flamingo for his chest and flower.  The leaves were stamped with Antique Linen Tim Holtz ink, then watercolored with Granny Apple Green.  Originally I had tried to do some "no-line" watercoloring but I did not like how the final image look, so I opted for Stazon.  The final addition was some Gray Granite speckles and watercolor in the background.  I used the optional sketch as well:

I pulled out some retired papers to complement my little tweetie and added some Balmy Blue diecut borders!  Hope you'll play along with us this week!  The DT has some ADORABLE takes on the challenge photo and I know you will too!  Can't wait to see them at Inspired By!  Thanks for popping in today!

This picture just cracks me up....Cassidy looks so serene, but Eden has this look in her eyes as if to say...."what is going on here?"....too funny!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
