Karren has a fun Sketch for us this week at Freshly Made sketches #657 and I had a few Honey Bee supplies out that seem to work pretty well for it! First, here's her Sketch:
Seems like a good place for a Quail, am I right? lol I took liberties with her
plumage but isn't that why this craft is so much fun?
My card base was created by stacking two A2 panels of wood grain card [Altenew]
and giving them a random diagonal cut at the same time.
You'll undoubtedly see the fraternal twin soon enough.
While I had those inky finger daubers out, I gave the top white portion a little
color, too...
This little HB tag die was used to cut a leftover piece of water colored card
from this week's PB stockings. A few Spellbinders' Holiday Blooms cattails,
bits of pine bough and leaves from PB Stocking Stuffers, and a linen string and bow were just the ticket for toppings. Okay, a bit of Stickles for good measure, too.
You have put up with me a lot this week and I sure appreciate it! Have a great weekend, my friends!

That quail takes the spotlight on your wonderful tag! And her plummage? Gorgeous!! Gives her such a regal look!
Your quail is stunning! What a beautiful way to use this diecut and all these lovely embellishments! It's a work of art!
So pretty Michele! Love the dramatic colors you've used. The quail is so cute!
Love the coloring on this, Michele.
What a beautiful arrangement! I absolutely love the quail. Anything earthy, woodsy, birdy has my heart entirely!
Your "vision" for this card is amazing! The non-traditional colors are awesome

A quail?!?! Wow - this card is wonderful! Just beautiful!
This is such a beautiful card! I just love the colours, the texture and of course that sweet bird! So pretty! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
I really, really love this card, Michele! The pink is so soft and subtle and such a great nontraditional combo for a nature inspired Holiday card.
