Happy Friday

Two things I am happy to see: 1) signs of spring and 2)  that vellum is back "in" for cardmaking. 
I played off both trends for this card.  The sketch is from Papertake Weekly Challenge, and the image is a digi from Stamping Boutique.  It's colored in pencils.

I ran a piece of vellum through an embossing folder. I like the look, but vellum is pretty fragile and it's starting to tear along the crease lines.  I may need to try a different folder.

I'm entering the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly, sketch 87

    The little bird just warmed my heart. I have about 20 at the feeders on the north window. This is so spring like. Thank you for sharing this wonderful art with us at Word Art Wednesday today. Blessings, Carole DT
