I like to keep practicing my watercolour wash backgrounds (still not really happy with them but I'll keep trying).
I stamped and watercoloured the chickadee image, then masked over it for the moon. I did the watercolour wash background, trying to get it like the inspiration. I added some salt to the right hand side but I think my paint was too dry as I didn't get much effect from it.
When the background was dry, I stamped the sentiment and splattered a bit of orange paint like the inspiration image.
I debated between a white cardbase and a red one and went with the red for more contrast. The watercoloured panel is popped up on fun foam. As a final touch, I added a bit of white gel pen to the berries and then coated them with glossy accents.
