Featuring Springtime Sparrows

Welcome to Day #4 of your February Release Features!

Today's featured set is...

It wouldn't be Springtime without beautiful birds and blooming trees.  This wonderful set reminds us how special we are to God and will encourage your loved ones to feels the same way.
  • Set includes 1 image and 6 sentiments 
  • Set measures approximately 6"x4"
  • Image measures approximately 3" x 2 1/2"
  • Illustrated by Chris Dickinson
  • Cost is $15

I stamped the image and colored it with my Copics.  I decided to turn the sparrows into blue birds this time. :) The background is made from a lovely music score embossing folder from Sizzix.  The sentiment is from the Forest Silhouettes set.  I finished it off with some ribbon and a bit of Stickles in the centers of the flowers.

I do have to tell you though, I could have cried when I was finishing up this card. You know that moment when you are almost done and you goof up the sentiment? GAH!! The original plan was for the sentiment to be stamped directly onto the image panel in the upper left corner. Well, let's just say that a little oopsie caused a redirect and this is the end result. I really was totally bummed out even though it works. Perhaps you could just pretend the circle isn't there? ;)  I do hope you enjoyed my card.

Check out more fabulous samples made by our talented DT in the thumbnails below.

Sigh, this is beautiful Korin! Your coloring and shading is lovely and I really like the sparkly touch of Stickles in the centers of the flowers. I love the adorable birdies in this set, can't wait to be able to get it, I have many of your other birdies sets and have feeders all over the property - something about watching the little ones flitter around makes my heart less heavy, you know?
