This simple image of a bird who missed his ride south comes from
Anne's Digital Art.
Twisted Thursday at the Outlawz optional twist was "The first day of winter" which is December 21st. I remember that when winter hit early, we would sometimes find these poor birds half frozen in the snow and we used to bring them indoors and put them in potato bags (remember the old paper ones with the cage like squares on the front?) with some bird food until it warmed in a day or two. I'm sure they scurried out of town pronto after that!
The background paper is watercolor paper with inks. I die cut the image and used embossed snow. Then, a bit of lace and some snowflakes to complete the card.
