Superb Fairy Wren

My card combines the Superb Fairy Wren pre-coloured digital stamp from the Superb Fairy Wren digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place Store with the "a happy hello" digital sentiment from the Limited Edition digital stamp set, also from Beccy's Place.  I sized the image-sentiment to fit on a 3.8" square panel, printed on smooth white cardstock.  I added some more shadow to anchor the wren to the card with Warm Grey W0-W1-W3 Copic Markers.

Next came a touch of Wink of Stella sparkle to the blue feathers on the wren,

as you move the card around, there is a flash of vibrant blue sparkle,

just like the wrens that visit with my Mum when she sits in the garden.

I trimmed the image panel, matted with black cardstock and trimmed to a 1/16" border with a Perfect Layers Ruler, matted the layered panel Marine cardstock and trimmed to a 1/8" border, then added the panel to a 5 1/2" square top folding card base made from the same smooth white cardstock.

   

As I look at the card now, I'm thinking that I might

add some pretty black pearls or sparkling gems.

Add them or stick with "less is more"?

I have made two cards same-but-different using this Superb Fairy Wren image.

My first card uses the Superb Fairy Wren image straight from the stamp set.

For my second card I have mirrored the Super Fairy Wren image.
