Hi everyone :-D
My second post today is this Extra Warm Wishes Card I finished this morning.
My inspiration for this one was a beautiful sketch090 with a twist from I {heart} sketches by Imke Ludvig. Twist was to use scraps from stash. I rotated sketch and used scraps from my stash to make this card, except for the card base. There was also an inspirational color board, but I didn´t used it.

Card dimensions are 143 mm x 98 mm (5 5/8" x 3 7/8").
I used From the Heart Stamps 'Birdbrain Winter Scarf' digital stamp. Super cute stamp that comes with 4 sentiments. :-D
I colored the image with aquarell and colored pencils and added some transparent varnish to eyelids and beak, to accent them, because the image is monochromatic and it didn´t look quite good without varnish. Here are some close up photos.
