I am in the mood to decoupage, apparently lol! I stamped the image with Versafine Clair twice onto watercolour card. I watercoloured one complete image. On the second image I layered watercolour to colour the bird, the flowers and the leaves that were to be cut out and decoupaged.
I dug into my Clarity Crafts designer Parchment to use as my background. I die cut the John Next Door flower dies from Sizzix Textured card and layered them up. I used Tonic Studios Nuvo Dream Drops to colour the black marks on the stamped image as well as to embellish.
The bird on this image is based on a European Honey Bee which I looked up before colouring it because I wanted to make it true to the inspiration. It is a really beautiful and colourful bird which is sadly not found in the UK. Back soon x
A colourful creation and the bird is perfect for our theme at Allsorts challenge this week, many thanks for joining in.
