A little birdie told me...

 Good morning!  We got some snow yesterday - when I was a kid, we used to get BLIZZARDS!  Like the famous Blizzard of '78!  LOL  As my kids grew, we seemed to get less and less snow and now we hardly get any (I'm in central Massachusetts).  It's weird.  So I actually enjoy a good snowstorm once in a while - of course, I'm not the one who has to go out and clean it up!  I get to sit inside drinking hot chocolate or tea in my pj's!  hee hee  ;)

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Triple B - Birds, Blooms, Butterflies - Anything Goes

Stamping Sensations - Hand Colored Image/Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Clean & Simple

Lil Red Wagon - Use a Window

Inspiration Station #69 (I was inspired by the bird & colors)

I tend towards the "cutesy" in my creations, so it's fun for me to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone.  I created my background by blending Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink on watercolor paper and then heavily spraying with water.  I used my Leaf Branch Oval Wafer Die from Simon Says Stamp and layered the paper on a white cardstock base.  I stamped the birdie from a Dina Wakley stamp set with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I colored the bird with alcohol markers, fussy-cut and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.
