Tweet Wishes

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 has presented Sketch Challenge #2-61 and here is the card I am submitting. The focal image and sentiment were digital downloads DigiStamp Boutique who is the sponsor of the challenge. In addition I decided to add this card to the Aud Sentiments Challenge #136, "Anything Goes."

The image was printed on white cardstock and colored with non-alcohol markers. Three sets of layers were cut from DSP, a ribbon was tied around the layers and the layers were adhered to the card base. The top layers was popped up on craft foam for dimension. A die cut sun was added and also raised to the level of the focal layers.
 
Black pearls were added for the canary's eyes and white pearls were colored with a yellow alcohol marker then adhered to the flower centers. Clear Wink of Stella was added to the canary and the sun. The inside was lined with a panel of white cardstock decorated with a yellow die cut border.

Be sure to stop by SSW2 and the Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog for challenge fun!
