Andrea of KandA Creative Moments is Guest Designer. Treat yourself to a stroll through her blog. You will be glad you did.
Here is my take using STAMPlorations Trendy Birds 2 stamp set:
I focused on the birds, banners and clouds. It's hard to see in this photo, but the card base is embossed with the Taylored Expressions Clouds Impression Plate. I painted with Zigs directly onto the bird stamp, sprayed it with water, stamped it on watercolor paper and added a drop of Nuvo Ebony Black for an eye. I die cut the watercolor panel with Lawn Fawn Stitched Party Banners, added the sentiment and leafy ribbon, and popped it up on the cloud background.
