Elaine Cox - Christmas Bird

It is Sunday again and therefore time for me to show you some of my Sweet Pea Stamps creations.  I have made a decorated chipboard bauble that I bought from the NEC.  It has been painted with Gesso and then a blue acrylic paint.  I have then used a Sheena Douglass Aged Beautifully stamp to add some markings to the front and the back of the bauble.
 The Sweet Pea Stamps image I have used is by Elaine Cox and is called "Christmas Bird".  It is available as a digital stamp and a stamp set (it comes with a large stamp and a matching small stamp which you could use for backing papers/inserts/envelopes etc).
I have coloured my image in with Graph'it pens, added Stickles to her wings and inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Faded Jeans distress ink.  

I have finished the bauble off with some raffia style ribbon, chipboard flowers I have coloured in with my Graph'it pens, spotty organza ribbon and two flowers I made out of ThermoMorph (if you have seen or heard anything about ThermoMorph please see my post here).

I am entering this bauble into the following challenges:
