Here is my project, using Seven Christmas Birds.

I have really fallen for these cute birdies, and they are so much fun to color with my Copics.  Thanks to Faith's image for reference, I was able to shade them without too much difficulty (seems to be the hardest part for me).

I created two cards for today's blog hop using the image and sentiment from this set.
