INCLUDE: bird, foliage
MODIFY: 'close-up' view, circular frame around bird, popped up sentiment
EXCLUDE: no popped up fruit, no white space (gasp!),
SPIN: shimmer spray
I decided to take a 'closer look' at the scene, and zoomed right in to the bird surrounded by leaves. I started by stamping my EBE cardinal from Backyard Bird Friends and then masking him. I stamped Mondo Holly all around him.
I put the mask back on the bird and then I blended Twilight and Black Jack ink around the edges, lightening my pressure as I got to the centre.
I removed the mask and coloured the cardinal, and added shading to the holly and berries.
I spritzed the panel with Avery Elle Clear Shimmer Spray.
