"When Nature made the bluebird,
she wished to propitiate both the sky and the earth,
so she gave him the color of the one on his back
and hue of the other on his breast."

Welcome to the Tiffany Doodles Blog Hop celebrating the second anniversary of Tiffany Doodles! I'm very honored to have been asked to participate in this event, and super excited to have a reason to create with Tiffany's wonderful images again! This is one fabulous hop...You should have arrived from Collette's Blog. (If this is your first stop, please go back to Jessica's blog so you don't miss anything!)
One of the best things, in my opinion, about Tiffany Doodles digital images that separates them from the rest of the digital images out there, are her photo sketches. I used the Bluebird3 stamp found here- it has always been one of my favorite Tiffany Doodles images...
After bringing him to life with a combination of markers and colored pencils, I die cut a panel and mounted it onto patterned paper, stamped a sentiment and wrapped everything with a bit of string.
I was on a roll and couldn't stop with just one card. On the above card, I used the Lenten Rose image and based a card off of the talented Barb's Barbles Inspiration Photo Challenge... a combination of the yellow flower and the rose colored glasses photos.
Your next stop on the hop is the uber talented Donna Mikasa!
Remember, please leave a comment for your chance to win a Bluebird3 or Lenten Rose image-you choose!
Here's a bit more quick information about the hop, but complete details can be found on the Tiffany Doodles Blog: You have three days to comment on this post and the eighteen other participant's posts-each participant has a featured digi that you could win! All winners will be posted on the Tiffany Doodles Blog on January 18th. Also, Tiffany is giving away the entire January release and all you have to do is create a card or project using a Tiffany Doodles image, blog about it, and add your name to in linkz tool which can be found on Tiffany's blog.
