Cerulean Warbler



After receiving the Shabby Chic Birdhouse stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle, I searched the internet to find a photo of a bird to use as my model for coloring this guy and found the cerulean warbler.  Both the bird image as well as the flowers that I used for corner pieces came from this set.  Everything is colored with Copic markers and the background was colored with Pan Pastels.  I added a bit of Raspberry Soda glitter to each of the flower centers, layered on an embossed pice of cardstock and Mirror Blue cardstock from SNS.  The final layer is actually a bright pink that matches the flower centers, but try as I might, no matter how many times I took a photo, it came out more of a red instead of a bright pink.
