Today I have another card using the brand new soon to be released You Will Find Refuge. Isn't this Chickadee just darling?? I decided to play along with the Our Creative Corner Challenge this week, which is a sketch challenge!
I started with a base of white and layered with red and another piece of white embossed with the Floral Screen EF. I then took a thin strip of red and layered with a very thin piece of embossed white for the top panel. The bottom panel is more red punched one side the the EK Success Dotted Wave Punch, layered with more embossed white and attached some silver ribbon through the middle. The oval panel is silve layered with more red. I stamped the Chickadee from You Will Find Refuge in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with markers (Basic Grey, Going Grey, Really Rust, So Saffron, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red) and a blender pen. I then cut it out with scissors and added it to the top of the red and popped the whole oval panel up on foam tape. To finish I added some Silver Pearls (that were a RAK from my Bestie Pam124) and a silver bow made with my Bow Easy.

As long as the birds are tweeting I am a happy little chickadee myself... nice job on the fluffy tweeter, I like the split panels on the dark BG, well done my friend... PS If only I didn't have to get up and go to work today... but I took Tina with me ;-}

This card is just so crisp and pretty! I love your choices, and that chickadee is turning out to be one of my favorites!
Kathy, I haven't told you in awhile but I LOOOOOVVVVEEE your little pieces of art. You are such a talented girl. I appreciate you sharing your talent with me.

WOW!!! What a great image, but even better because of your brilliant ability to design gorgeous and classy cards :)
Very pretty, wonderful detail and great card.
Love the clean lines of this one Kathy. The wee bird is beautifully coloured. We don't have chickadees or cardinals over here. What a pity - they are gorgeous. :)
