These 2 are so pretty, yet so very different in the look than the later posts (I'm reading from top down, datewise). You are a genius at switching from the classic themes to the punk motifs, and each genre is wonderful. Hope you didn't have any ice or storm damage.

My fave though, just has to be the Boing Boing birdies!! - I absolutely love the way they are bouncing up and down on the springs!!<br />And of course, your backgrounds are stunning, as always!<br />Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and a happy and peaceful 2014.<br />Hugs, Sylvia xxSYLVIA-ANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573530092649406145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408021256627481216.post-58546690678634993502013-12-22T13:00:32.190-05:002013-12-22T13:00:32.190-05:00Hello Shirley, I am running out of superlatives wi...Hello Shirley, I am running out of superlatives with your wonderful cards, especially today the bouncing birds with their marvellous steampunk background and their cosy house.

I particularly like the way you echoed the edges of his tail feathers - that jaggedness - with the rough inked edging of the image panel as a whole plus your use of the different purples for the cogs & the floral edge. Doesn't he look at home on that little bank? <br />Your second sample has so many techniques which you've combined to create a very unusual design; I particularly like your use of the vertical spokes of gears for the lower background adding to the sense of vertical movement with the gears stencil which has the roundedness of - as you say - clouds. The aqua mist floating between the 'clouds' & your ghosted punky flowers adds tremendously to the effect. <br />Paula (PEP)Paula (PEP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17869890939386052501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408021256627481216.post-83526757103070492922013-12-22T08:25:46.824-05:002013-12-22T08:25:46.824-05:00So lovely birds!!

The second card with the lovely bouncy birds and the birdhouse has the blues and greens which I adore and I really like the way you have used the stencil for clouds and the light colour cogs in the background. Your colouring on both is lovely as usual.
