English Robins

Good morning, and thank you for visiting today!  I must admit, I never really thought of card making as educational, but this lovely image, '4 Robins' from Just Inklined, depicts English robins..... and their colouring is far different than our robins here in Canada.  


After looking on the web, here are a couple of photos. Both beautiful....but oh so different.


Now, back to the card.... I've again coloured with Prismas, using a Nestie die to cut and mat the image.  To the red flowers I've added glitter and pearl centers, and I've sponged the edges of the DP to give it a vintage feel.  If you look closely, you will see there is also a white feather, for a little extra detail.

I will also be playing along in the following challenges:
Digi Doodle Shop - #34 Anything Goes
ABC Christmas Challenge - X is for Xmas
DCD Christmas Club - #44 Anything Goes
