For my bg I first painted a light wash of aqua watercolor and then I "stamped" using my ef. To stamp I rubbed watercolor crayons on the folder, spritzed with water, and then pressed the paper on top of it. I decided to try out my new birthday die on this..I like how it looks..

Wonderfully artistic background, Polly. Yes your HB die looks good with it. Very cool card.

Terrific bg, Polly...tfs how you did it. Your new die is beautiful with the swags under the script. Your bird is beautifully colored and fits right in with your title.
