IC667 sent us to a site called QiQi Gallery and it's a Canadian site so I had to play along. I saw this image and was inspired to make a Christmas card based on it.
I masked off a rectangle on my watercolour paper and used various blue watercolour paints to make a background similar to the one in my inspiration.
I am in the midst of reorganizing my craft room and couldn't find my brown cs for die cutting the branches so watercoloured a scrap of w/c paper in brown (and also in red) and die cut the branches and birds. I die cut the birds twice and glued them together to raise them up off the branches more.
I sat two of them together like the owls in the inspiration but it looked kind of bare so added three more.
I trimmed the panel and popped it up on fun foam on a kraft card base.
It's also for the SCS Christmas Card Challenge where one of the optional September themes is birds.
