We have several family members who have birthdays very close to Christmas and the New Year, and my brother is one of them. I saw this lovely image of a Golden Eagle when I took part in the Tuesday Taggers Blog Hop and thought it would be perfect for him. It is from
Delicious Doodles by Teresa Sherman - isn't he stunning? I coloured it with promarkers. I used shades of warm greys on the rocks and Mustard on his feet and beak. Then I used a mixture of sandstone, tan and caramel for the paler areas and cocoa, cinnamon, burnt sienna and walnut for the darker feathers. I used my blender pen to lighten the area at the edge of his wings too. the background papers have been in my stash for at least 5 years and I didn't have much left, but I think the one on the left is a PSX one. I used a martha stewart punch, my oval nesties and a sentiment stamp by Clarity stamps. Those Christmas presents are getting some good use! Thanks for looking!

Stunning card, Sally. The eagle & background paper go really well together. I think you're right that the paper is PSX. I've still got a bit somewhere! Must get the eagle - I know a couple of people who would love it.
Hi Sally
What fantastic coluring, clearly you needed those PM's more than me because I never achieved anything that wonderful.
Happy New Year.
