Free For All Challenge #11

This is my second card for Friday's Free For All Challenge

I used this fun new release BIRD-DAY HI from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS

I used my white gel pen to add accent dots to my bird and the clouds. I just love this cute bird illustrated by Trudy Sjolander. For the clouds, I made a template using Clouds die-namics steel dies from My Favorite Things. I cut out two sets from copy paper and adhered them to the top of a piece of copy paper so the tops of them were above the paper a little. Then I sponged over them with Pacific Point ink.
