Amazing leaf print which makes a fabulous background for your branch with darling chickadees. Great colouring with your posca pen and pencils. LOVE the organic look of the pressed leaves with the birds. Awesome design, Christine.

The plant press background works brilliantly here Christine, and the sweet chickadees on the branch are perfect over the top, and I love the added sentiment vertically down the left side...a great design! x

You had me at "two little birds", but then I went to Magenta and read up on how you made this so beautiful and now I love it all the more. That's an impressive plant press - no pun intended. A fun technique all on its own and I might still have one or more in my bag o' backgrounds.

I love the big leaf you put in the background and those chickadees are fabulous! Pretty card, Christine!

LOVE this one! Outstanding work on those birds and getting parts of them white. These guys just pop off this card. Fabulous background again too!

These sweet chickadees are perfect on the botanical prints, Christine! Thanks for the inspiration of what to do with some of those prints in my UFO box!

This card is simply phenomenal! The delicate background of natural plants looks so amazing, I love the tiny details reflected on the paper. Using a white marker to color the birds is a brilliant idea. I don't think I would have thought of that...
I love this card with these wonderful birds, they look real
