Right up my street. I had pulled this Art Neko image out just during the week. Stamped it on white card, embossed with clear EP, sponged, spritzed with water and then coloured the bird (to look like a great tit, since we have those here and they also have that solid black cap) with Inktense pencils. I pulled An alcohol ink background from my box, and partially inked a Judikins music background with Mermaid Lagoon Archival. Then I stamped the foliage from Embrace Life with a brown archival, and while you can't see the shimmer, I used copper Perfect Pearls with water to colour the leaves in. I used some dilute white acrylic to stencil flowers over the bottom part, and silver paste from Cosmic Shimmer to add some texture at the bottom left (and there's a tiny bit more over at the top right. I edged this with Stickles, added to a white base and layered the tit/chickadee up on foam.

I can nearly see the music background but I love the pretty colors you've chosen for this card, is that bird the one we call "Mésange"? I'm not sure because I always thought it was a chickadee in English

I like the leaf choice a lot with the Chinese character (which means what?)...looks like bamboo. Lots of fun layers in their to go with that sweet bird!
