Today's card is for the Color Hues challenge - pink and blue.
A Penny Black dealer was retiring and getting rid of his supply so I took advantage of the sale and bought a number of stamps and dies. My love of birds prompted me to buy Nature Sings which has four different birds on it. I stamped the bluebird on Bristol and colored it with Zigs. I masked the bird and made my own stencil to color the background with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink. The branch was free-handed.
