Hi Stampers, today we have a sketch challenge and I wanted to use a stamp set that is retiring because I just purchased it not too long ago and have not even inked it up yet. I love the bird in this image and hope you enjoy my share for the hop. Thank you to my dear friend Jeanne Chase for the inspiration for my little bird.
Here is the sketch:
Stampin’ Up! Better With You:

the bird:
