This card definitely evolved from the birds I stamped and coloured, I used alcohol pens and triple embossed with clear powder. The background needed to be colourful but dark to help the birds stand out from it. I used salty ocean, peacock feathers and picked raspberry and smooshed them randomly onto white card. The birds needed something to perch on so I reached for the flowers from the Punky Flowers and stamped and coloured them with water colour pencils. I added clear Wink of Stella glitter, I think the photograph shows how rich these pens are with sparkle. To create a border I stamped one of the flower heads with picked raspberry randomly around the edge. Finally, I used a bright pink, black and bright blue card to triple mount, highlighting the colours I used.
Thanks for visiting. Debbie.

This is stunning Debbie, I love the birds and they look great sitting on the flowers. The colours are so vibrant they really make the birds pop.

Thank you for describing how this evolved - very helpful & encouraging for me personally. I particularly like the way you perched that left bird on his flower - the claws fit perfectly around the petal & the way he overhangs the matted layers is so effective. The pink 'mist' exuding from your far left deep pinky-red flower also caught my eye & I love the triple matting.
