I love these birds and so broke them out with some fun Blends!  LOVE me some blends!  A few places I used them: 

🐦  Colored the birds!  Love all the different shades you can get from Blends Markers.  

🐦  Colored the white strip of cardstock that I stamped the greeting on!  I wanted just a subtle ombre color, and it was so easy to do with a few Blends!

🐦  Colored the white Baker's Twine!  Just lay the twine on the glass mat, hold the brush end over it, and pull the twine!  It colors it so easily! 

Wait!  Should probably show you the sketch now!  Hee.  Here is the challenge sketch: 

I love how a sketch gives you a good format for a card, makes it so easy!, but you also have flexibility and creative freedom - of course!  So I took the "broken" background concept and cut a piece of Designer Series Paper into strips.  And then kept with the focal point in the bottom right corner with the greeting!

What do you think?  What are you going to make with this sketch challenge?!  Can't wait to see!  Head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to play along!
