My base is the Heavy Whisper White cardstock. I added a matte of Garden Green and Whisper White and then a piece of the beautiful Mosaic Mood DSP. That patterned paper really must be seen in person to be appreciated since it looks as if it has been heat embossed with all those leaves.
I stamped the single bird image from the set onto a piece of Mixed Media paper and then added some background by hand. After the inks had fully dried, I watercoloured the bird and background using a combination of Stampin' Up! and Derwent watercolour pencils and my Aqua Painter. I cut that image out with one of my circle dies and then added a matte of Garden Green.
I had such fun creating this card and hope you love it as much as I do. Have fun checking out our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and I hope you'll link your creation before the deadline on Monday, May 18th.
