I stamped the holly first and then carefully positioned the robin so that he's perched on it. I heat embossed both (and the sentiment) so that I could do wet-on-wet watercolour painting and have the embossed edges act as dams.
After watercolouring the robin and holly, I debated adding a sky or a wash around the image and decided I wanted to leave it completely plain - not even a bit of splatter. What do you think? Add a wash? Add some splatter?
