Beautifully done Christine and I love the bird with the berry in its beak, and the extra winter branches in the background with that wonderful blue sky. A really pretty look. x

What a fabulous job you did on that bird! Love the variation in color on him. Your pencil work is fantastic to bring out some details. Your sky is a fantastic color too!

A beautiful sky and great image of the bird with his berry. That nuance powder mix really is a gorgeous blend with soft coloring.

This background worked perfectly for the sky and I love how the two stamps fit together to make a wonderful scene!

You blow me away, Christine. When I get a little more caught up I'm going shopping for Magenta. Frantic Stamper has a nice selection close to home. You are hugely inspiring!

Beautiful! I love that the little bord got to eat a berry too... Not may berries about over here this year, didn't help that my 'new' gardener cut down my beautiful firethorne tree which would be laden with berries right now. I'm devastated...

This is so beautiful, Christine! You took a fantastic soft sky print from the paper you used for the last week's card. The pencil-coloring details bring life to the bird, and the branches and berries are so pretty!

Magenta has beautiful stamps, but stamps alone are not enough. It is the artist who brings them to life with his vision. Yes, you made this scene come alive. Amazing work and the colors of the sky are stunning!
