STAMPlorations January Theme & Sketch Challenge

Happy New Year!!! 

The January Theme & Sketch Challenge at STAMPlorations begins today. I chose the Theme: STAMPS and ANIMALS for my card.. which I sent to Shery's daughter...I never seem to get birthday cards out on time!

The STAMPlorations porducts used for my card are: SMALLBIRDS, PARTY TIME stamps, and WARM WINTER WISHES PHRASE die and the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies

I trimmed the extra words from the WARM WINTER WISHES PHRASE die and saved WINTER for the sentiment:)
The rainbow washed panel was a piece created when learning how vibraint a new watercolor set can be. Then sprinkled with some ColorBurst powders as the paints were drying. That cute bird is colored with Alcohol markers.

I hope this inspires you to get out your papercrafting toys and create/share with us at the STAMPlorations  January Theme & Sketch Challenge.  As a refresher, I've copied/pasted the rules of play for your convenience.
