You always do the greatest techniques and I like this ink lifting. A sweet bird stamp and the mandala is lovely.

Awesome job with the bleach and gouache paint, Christine! The bird and cherry blossoms are so vibrant! And I love the subtle lifting with the stencil and tone on tone stamping! An altogether lovely card, my friend!

Wonderful work Christine. I'm wondering if the bleaching is necessary with the gouache paints?? I have not worked with them, except for the one time at your place. I love your background with the baby wipe through stencil and your mandela stamped in tone-on-tone. Really beautiful card! xx

I love anything with birds and this is such a pretty stamp! The mandala and diamonds make a beautiful background the way you've used them. I swear sometime I would like to set a week or so aside to do nothing but play with backgrounds.

What a fabulous scene you created using a few different techniques, Christine! Great job of bleaching and lifting ink colors using baby wipes! Your chickadee is so sweet, the cherry blossoms are pretty, and the ink blended background is gorgeous! I especially love the combination of stecniling and stamping at the bottom part.

Wonderful feelings accompany me when I look at this card. I see a bird sitting on a branch growing above the water. And the beautiful mandala is reflected in the water ... Thank you for a moment of relaxation, when I admired your card
