Let's focus on something pretty to help ourselves get over the winter blues, shall we?  CAS on Friday Challenge #301 Flowers to the rescue!  Looking at this card during editing (and after more colored pencil practice), I realized that I needed to add more shading.  I only did the blossoms--wowza.

Simon Says Stamp - Extra Proud

It was so hard to take a photo of this card and capture the neon inks I used on this card using Simon Says Stamp Extra Proud from the Dear Friend release.  Argh!  You'll have to trust me this is even brighter than this--like put on those sunglasses bright.

Birch Press Design - Pink Cosmos

I'm pretty in (vivid) pink on the Birch Press Design blog today!

BRI - Little Talks

It's another Butterfly Reflections Ink Monday and I'm celebrating tropical style with a colorful parrot worked up from the bluebird found in Honey Bee Lovely Layers Spring Birds.  Yes, I said bluebird.  The only thing I altered was trimming the beak to make it more parrot-rounded rather than bluebird-stabby.

I used the Lawn Fawn Tropical Leaves Backdrop adhered and trimmed down with a Waffle Flower Nesting Rounded Rectangle Die. I sponged the leaves with Catherine Pooler inks which are so so vibrant.  

The sentiment is from Waffle Flower Coffee Shop Talk because, duh, parrot--"little talks."  LOL.  I love puns, good or bad, so much!
