Wow! It's been awhile since the last time I was able to use my Heartfelt Creations Stamps!!
I used the Clematis Cottage image combined with the Holly Berry Filler set to create a wintery chickadee scene. *squeal* It turned out pretty well, I says to myself.
I used Capella paper from basic Grey since I wanted a softer winter look without being overtly winter; that is no snowflakes, no poinsettias, no icicles or any other winter stuff n' such. I used a white gel pen to put snow on the roof top and ledge. The lighting of this image makes me think of the very short days in January, just as the days are getting longer, but shadows are frighteningly long at 2pm. At that time, the world has a soft golden glow that makes it feel alright despite the weak sun and frigid temperatures.
I am quite taken with the little house, since I stamped it in a lighter ink and coloured it dark. Many of my guiding lines disappeared and I did get a little tense as I was colouring, until I reminded myself that I am the artist, and every ubitz is an opportunity for embellishment!
copics used today; W1, T3/5, E04/07/30/31/53/55/57/59/79/87, Y0000/000/23, BV0000/000, G94, colourless blender

Wonderful card, Loretta! I love the weathered bird house and the branch with the beautiful pine cones. Used to see chickadees all the time around my feeders in Texas but since moving to Mexico -- nada! Of course, I've been blessed with other types of birds that I've had to try to identify -- we have orioles and hummers now!
Fantastic job of coloring...that birdhouse and birds look real!!!! Excellent creation!!!! VERY nicely done! Great showcase of those stamps!
Love the layout and the BG paper, but I am most impressed with the coloring on this image. A photograph couldn't look any better. Great stamp great job coloring.
Birdhouses are one of my favorite stamps and I love you you put this one together!
