For Kim's challenge...
I recycled a card base I originally made for Bridget's challenge - I was drawing a black border round the card base and the pen slipped, so I had to start again for Bridget's card and this was left on my desk. I die-cut it and sponged it with gesso to tone it down. Stamped the bird and all the foliage. Stamped the speckles from Gorgeous Grunge. Coloured it with watercolours, and added Liquid Pearls berries and some white paint dots.
