I watercolored my background swiping in inks on foil. This was put behind my circle die.
The birds were cut away from Penny Black's stamp, The Sweetest Sound, (not using the rest of the image). The branches were added and I used a small eraser from my lead pencil to dip in my ink pad for the berries/leaves.
I was expecting my background to have more blue but now I think it looks like a rain forest.

I am a huge bird lover so this card just speaks to me! I love the circular background and the idea to cut the birds away from that beautiful PB image - I have to remember that! Straight into my favorites!
