I chose to color two of the smaller images today and I made the bird a Goldfinch, or some semblance thereof. I used Copics, but I'm eager to do it again in watercolor. I think this is the prettiest stamp! At first I thought it was a small stamp, but, you know, it's really a very nice size.
I fussy cut the additional strawberry stamp and used it as an accent. Hmmm... only one picture today. Well, as I mentioned, I'll definitely be coloring this one again... plus the other main image... sigh...
So far we've seen berries and birds, flowers, treasures of the forest floor... tomorrow I'll be back with the final set in this release, but there's still another day to come when the sets go live with a big hop we're doing with friends.
Today, please see the Power Poppy Blog so you don't miss what Marcella has to say, plus she'll give you a link list to all the sweetness the team has to offer with the Summer Berries set. Take care and have a delicious day!
Hi Leslie! Every Enchanted Garden should have a bird and berries and I think you have created both beautifully! Of course I love the yellow and the gingham and the distressed woodgrain. All that makes this card a super pretty one, and a great design in every way. You've worked hard and your posts have been such an inspiration for this release!
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow.
All of your cards for this release have been lovely. Beautiful coloring.
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous, Leslie! LOVE the berries and that bird is gorgeous as well! Awesome card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute woodgrain and gingham together (have to try that sometime) with these sweet little guy. The added strawberries to the corner is perfect. Yummy and sweet Leslie.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully colored sweet strawberries and Goldfinch, Leslie. I love your pretty card design too. TFS Hugs...
ReplyDeleteYummy, yummy strawberries! Wonderfully colored and finished, Leslie.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Leslie, love the contrast of the bright, red berries with the yellow on the beautiful finch.
ReplyDeleteThe Gingham panels add to the beauty of your card and that wood grain pattern paper is the perfect background for your sweet images.

ReplyDeletegorgeous card Leslie, I love the image of the bird and the strawberry plant :)
ReplyDeleteLove these stamps and your designing and colouring are always sensational..xx
ReplyDeleteWow! The wood grain background and the image stamped on white are a great summer look. Can't wait for the stamp to become available.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty, Leslie! The highlighting in those strawberries has my mouth watering! Beautiful card! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteSummer berries and birds - one can't go wrong! I like the background you used as well. I would have never thought to use gingham with it. My daughter has so many goldfinches in her yard, but as much as he tries Joe cannot attract them to his feeders. He has lots of cardinals but only an occasional goldfinch when he loses his way to her house! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, this gives me such a summer feeling. Love your colours. Thank you so much for sharing Leslie.
ReplyDeletevery cute, love how you have colored him and your extra strawberries to accent the corner is so pretty! Love your layout of the card and that worn wood is so cool too!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love the design and the woodgrain background is just perfect. I love how well that gingham works too... Clever you!
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie, I'm smitten with this one! You know anything nature -bird related I love. Your layout with the woodgrain background and the gingham fits so well with your image. Beautifully done! Sorry so late at commenting, Bill and I went to Toronto for a couple of days, so just getting caught up on my Feedly readings!
ReplyDeleteYeah for goldfinches! I just love them and wish I had more at my bird feeder. Love this card and how you added the extra berries and just a hint of blue!
