I stamped the image and added some subtle colouring with watercolour paints and then did the berries with a red marker. This beautiful chickadee stamp is called Stained Glass Birds. I didn't colour it as if it were stained glass but I layered a piece of acetate over it to make it seem to be a window (that's why there is inconsistent definition in the photo - light was bouncing off the acetate). I added a red frame over top to hold the acetate in place and to match the berries.
It will be a Christmas card but I didn't want to mess the image up with a sentiment on the front.

Sweet winter chickadee scene. I’m sure the acetate window sheet on top adds a fun, realistic feel....and it IS a bugger to try to photograph without glare. Fun card for the bird challenge, TFS!
