Winter Wonderland Challenge

Well I can't get my breathe, I threw open the curtains this morning to see thick, heavy snow falling. Overnight we've had 5 inches, Nooooo! I've checked the weather forecast and it may melt this afternoon but then we have more forecast for the end of the week. Double Nooooo, I'm going to the Inspired Retreat on Friday and have to drive over to Cheshire. It does look beautiful but my garden was telling me this week that it is spring.
It has helped me get the right frame of mind for Winter Wonderland's sketch challenge this week. I found this image during my purge of excess craft stock. I'm sure like many of you, I have more than I can possibly need in a lifetime. I gave away four bin bags of craft stuff that has been hanging round for years. I found three pages of this image that I had stamped out at a craft class I used to go to years ago, I mean about 5 years ago! I had coloured it with my Copics this week and it was sitting on my counter, so I decided to use it on this card. I have no idea who its by but I loved colouring it. It's not my normal bright colours but I think it has a bit of country charm about it, I love the expression on some of these birds faces.
