This cute card was created from sponsor image Mini Bird in Plane from Limited Runs Stamps.  I colored this cute little bird red, because my brother is a St. Louis Cardinal fan and I will give him this card for his bday.  The sky was sponged with distress inks and a few clouds added.

For this challenge I worked with sponsor image Mini Birds Sitting from Limited Runs Stamps.  I thought they were adorable.  The image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils and I used I little bit of white paint pen for the sky.  Nothing too fancy, just some cuteness.

I got to work with sponsored image from Limited Runs Stamps.

Isn't this little dragon cute as can be?  My boys love dragons, dinos, wizards, you know, boys stuff. I had to color up this image Dragon's Egg .  The leather background paper, I've had stashed for years and thought it was a good match for this image.  The orange and little bit a green paper I made from photo paper and pinata ink.

The image is colored with my color pencils.  No photoshop adjustments needed, it's that vibrant.  It did need lots of blending to add all the colors I wanted.
