Friends with Flair and Cedar Waxwings

I thought it would be fun to make a card using my other new Unity stamp " Wishing you Joy". The poppies are so pretty. I used all Basic Grey papers, Webster's Pages lace and some velvet trim. I coloured the poppies with Copics and heat embossed the sentiment with copper embossing powder on vellum.

I'm entering this in Unity's Friends with Flair.

We had some very special visitors to our backyard this afternoon. We love birds and keep our feeders filled all year round. Today about a dozen beautiful Cedar Waxwings dropped in and hung out long enough for me to get some great pictures. I was and am very excited as I haven't seen these beauties in years. So I couldn't resist sharing!

    I love your poppies and coloring is awesome. It feels like spring/ summer is really here. To answer to your question.... sorry took forever.... it was seeds of summer stamp set from JR. I am so looking forward what you will come up for this challenge.

    I love this, Shona! Those poppies are so pretty! I think I see some Crop Chocolate Fancy Pants Pink Velvet trim. I still have several yards of that! Your birds look kind of chubby-must have been fed well!

    Cedar waxwings! We're they eating berries? They like to strip our crab apple trees this time of year! Love your poppy card, and it's great to see you back again this week!

    The Poppies look awesome with your papers. I don't get that type of bird on my feeders. They look like they are mixed with a Cardinal and a Titmouse. Pretty birds!

    Those birds are so beautiful! Love the poppies on your card- and that you've coloured them in non- typical colours!

    What pretty choices you made for the color. I love the pink and orange poppies, the coloring is spot on. Great shot of your birdies. I love to sit in my craft room and watch mine right out the window.
