I'd better start from the beginning, I saw the sketch at the Outlawz and it gave me an idea to use a die I bought a few weeks ago. I then searched in my files for some papers and came across a robin paper in a digi kit, I had forgotten about.
I laid it all out in PS then thought I can't colour the robin in PS! no problem I'll cut it out of different colour cards. I had earlier used a clear stamp (yep! me did some "real" stamping on a trial basis) and, had some water colour pencils on my desk, so why not colour the die cut in pencils, well it was worth a try. This is the result and I'm over the moon with my Robin! I also coloured the poinsettia with watercolours and then splattered the circle with water and the pencils.
I put it all together and realised I hadn't added the scallop circle in the sketch, so Cameo to the rescue, I cut a scalloped circle and cut the centre out of it, then added it to the already finished card!

Oh, Faith, your robin is gorgeous! Can't blame you for being over the moon about it. Love the gold scalloped circle. It really sets off the image. So proud of you for using the colored pencils. :-D
That really is a cute robin, and I love all the details on this pretty card too!
That's beautiful. My friend in Totnes would just love it....she has a thing about Robins! !
This turned out just perfectly! Your little robin looks amazing! It seems we're switching roles, with me having just created a hybrid card and you moving to stamping and colouring! It's fun to mix things up a bit though, isn't it?!
Love your fabulous Robin and great splatters
