Penny's Challenge #563 Anything Goes!

 Hello from a very cold and icy Oregon, USA.  The high temp today was 17 degrees with about 3/4 of an inch of ice on everything.  Freezing rainstorm hit early Saturday morning.  Hasn't let up yet but tomorrow (sunday) will be a little better.  To all my friends in the southern hemisphere, just wait!  OK enough of me running my fingers.  Here are the sponsors for this challenge.

Ching Chou Kuik Digital Stamps

These two sponsors are incredible.  The images are crisp and clean and just perfect for print and cut.  Please go on over and leave some love and a big thank you.  They really do appreciate it.

On to my project.  This project actually took about 2 weeks to put together.  My image is from Ching-Chou Kuik and is titled Harmony. Here we go...

This image came grayscale.  I added the color.  Some areas I left grey. 
 I think I used every set of pencils, markers and some watercolor on this. 
Lets just say I used anything I thought was crafty.  I printed the
image on a very light weight watercolor paper.  I had thought
 that I would watercolor the entire image.  Ended up just doing the
big leaves the parrot is sitting on.  All the rest is either Bic,
 Sharpie or Shuttle art markers.  I used Prismacolor, Arteza and
Castle Art Oil based colored pencil sets.  The parrot is a Scarlet Macaw. 
 I tried to color it was close as possible to an actual parrot.  The other
images are colored according to my imagination! 
Found the sentiment looking around Bing under parott cards.  


The base is a beautiful tissue paper I got for Christmas.
I used a die to cut out the happy birthday sentiment.  This will
be going to my Daughter-in-law (shhhhhh she doesn't know)

There are so many steps that I did to create this card.  I am really proud of this one.  Love how it turned out.  But I would be writing a book to list all I did.  I will see you in a fortnight for another challenge at Penny's!

So from my heart to yours, Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.
