One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

CAS CHRISTMAS OCTOBER CHALLENGE ~ CHRISTMAS BIRD

Welcome to our mid month October challenge of CAS Christmas .
We are using Christmas Birds as our theme!
I colored up this sweet Penny Black image from Twinkle and Wish for my Christmas card with a bird.

I masked off the top and bottom and sponged on some blue color and then added some splatter of both white and blue colors to the card.
I colored this with copics.
I look forward to seeing your card in the gallery!
And please go check out the rest of the design team and our special guest too!




Heart Hugs, friends!

What a sweet little girl with the cute red bird on her hand, Colleen! The sponged blue background looks so soft and beautiful, and the splatters are subtle and perfect. Your coloring makes the girl look even cuter.
