Blue Birds Chirping in Birch Trees

This card came together after playing around with inks and stencils.

I made a mixed media background with oxide and regular Distress inks, smooshing and spritzing with water, then adding a couple of stencils and a couple of stamps.

I die cut the birds and birch trees twice, watercoloured the birds dark blue, added a bit of watercoloured shading to the trees, and layered the two layers together to add dimension.

Instead of a sentiment, I used a Tim Holtz clippings sticker.

It's for the Color Throwdown Challenge:

And for CAS Mix Up (watercolouring with anything that flies):
