Final Day of Sneak Peeks! Winged Whispers

My cards for today use a beautiful new set that will be available at midnight tonight from Clear Dollar Stamps... Winged Whispers. My first card uses the sparrow and some dp that I found in my stash by Flair. I love that it has music on it, because the sparrow reminds me of the hymn - "His Eye is on the Sparrow". I watercolored my sparrow with watercolor pencils and a waterbrush on naturals ivory cardstock, then cut it out with oval nestibilities. The layers are embossed and torn and distressed to match the designer paper, and everything is tied together with gold cord and a button for a touch of elegance. Hmmm... distressed elegance? Is there such a thing?? LOL!

Supplies:

My second card is colored with prismacolors and oms. I love my copics and can hardly put them down, so I have to *make* myself color with different mediums occasionally!! I used some older SU dp layered on some K&Co dp for the background layers, and did more sponging and tearing. I even pulled out my eyelets. I hate to have neglected embellishments! :-)
