I was trying to strive for the magical forests that Susie Australia always creates. After coloring the bird with copics and pencils, I dripped reinkers on the mixed media paper and sponged over that when dry with various inks, stamped the Jofy, the PB tree and the wild flowers. Stamped the bird on the cardbase and fussy cut the colored image. I formed his glasses with wire, then filled with Glossy Accents. I used Cosmic Shimmer paints to color the berries which had been embossed and to my delight, they are opaque and covered the black. They have a gorgeous shimmer to them. This one was fun to do. Thanks for stopping by.

Nancy, you did a great job of channeling Susie's magical forests. I tried twice and both ended up in the trash. This is fantastic. His glasses are brilliant.
