Time for a sweet little card! This card is 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" and is for this sketch.
And, here is my take on the sketch.
You may wonder where the strip of designer paper comes from. It is actually from the Back to Black pack and I colored it with a variety of belndabilities. I saw this technique on a blog post from Patty Bennett
And here is the same paper after I colored it with the blendabilities.
Cutting a piece of this created my backgound strip for my card.
The bird bath image from For the Birds was stamped on Whisper White cardstock with Memento Black Ink. It was also colored with a variety of Blendabilities and matted on a 3- 9/16" x 3-1/8" piece of Basic Black Cardstock. That in turn was matted on a 3-1/4" x3-1/4" piece of Coastal cabana Cardstock.
A few Bright Candy Dots add the finishing touch.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

STAMPIN' UP! SUPPLIES USED:
What a difference in the look of the paper when you color it in. I like it. Must stock up on blendabilities!
I’m with Suzanne, what a difference in the DSP. I like it better colored in. It was kind of too busy not colored. So how did you just make some of the leaves and things disappear into the black? I like this technique. Your card is very nice.
Love all of the happy coloring! And I am so going to try that on my DSP!
I have this stamp & I have the blendabilties & the paper! I may try this card this weekend! I think coloring the dsp adds so much to it. I prefer the coloring of the dsp it’s so much happier! Love your card!
Oh my word, I can’t believe the change in that DP! I have yet to open up my pack of paper but I was thinking this wasn’t my favorite piece. But now, I am going to try this for sure! I will have to try markers since I don’t have many blendabilities yet or even colored pencils might turn out fun with a lighter theme but I love the vibrancy of color! I have not inked up this stamp for ages either. I need a little creative time even if I am just CASING yours! A teething 10 week old puppy is really wearing thin on my nerves! Oh, and I say you totally rocked this sketch! Love the little candy dots too! Wonderful card – gotta go check out Patty Bennett’s site.
Wow! That coloured paper looks fabulous! You would never know it had been white before! So fun! Those little birds are so sweet! Love it! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
