Little birdie

007
So I did this small canvass using some of the techniques I have been learning.  I started with a 5 x 7 canvass panel.  I gessoed it and then coloured the background with watercolour pencils.  I then used a ink spray to spray over a stencil.  The banner is a rubon and the bird I cut out of a magazine and drew a line for lit to sit on.  The leaves are holly leaves from Prima.  It was cool to work on such a small canvass and come up with something cute.  Could not do these without the inspiration I get from Christy Tomlinson and the other ladies who have done her course.
Thank You.
