Sending warm and feathered hugs!

Hey there! When I saw the new challenge graphic at Sunday Stamps, I knew I wanted to play along. I don't use orange often so this was a good chance to step outside of my box.

Trust me when I tell you I had to fight my way out of that box! I started out with flowers and an epic water coloring failure. Then I thought I would turn to my tried and true Copics... another disaster. I scratched the whole flower idea and brought out a feathered friend and my go to polka dots. A little whimsy, a little sparkle. Ahh, much better!

 
The orange didn't get the best of me, see ya!

Oh, this is so sweet, Lisa! I love how you added the bits of vine along the bottom with touches of orange. This could not be any cuter!

Marisela Delgado said: Lisa, this is the sweetest thing! So lovely! I love his little cap. ☺ We have warmed up considerably. We were sunny and 80*F today. Isn't that crazy? Of course, many parts of Texas are still having water issues and the property damages are astronomical. Gov. Abbott has given an open invitation to licensed plumbers from other states to come help us out. What a Winter! Warm hugs to you, my friend. Mari

Lisa,your sweet owl carries the orange fabulously, including the glittery fluff at the top of her stocking hat! Great design with the stitched layers and the bits of bling. I'm so glad you persevered, you've captured this Sunday Stamps challenge perfectly! Thank you so very much for joining us!
