Bird Silhouette

 
I love the Bird Silhouette Bigz die but have hardly used it! I had a little play time over the Christmas break and came up with this - not what I first intended... my background started far less grungy but I just can't help myself adding layers until I have gone too far! 
I randomly collaged some scraps of paper onto card and die cut the bird before adding some ink and paint. I also cut the two little birds.


I would like to enter:

See you soon
Nikki

    I love the way you have collaged the beautiful birds and the background you created for them! I am guilty of having this die and not using it... yet... I hope. Happy New Year Nikki! Anne xx

    A wonderful background on your canvas Nikki - it shows off your bird trio on the branch wonderfully! I love this bird too - and have only used it once! Happy New Year! Julia xx

    Hi Nikki, I love your grungy background :) and your Seredipity bird! I think it's fun to break out the old dies and let your creativity loose. Well done!

    I don't think you went 'too far' with your background at all. It all works together very well and is a great project. Thanks for playing with the MMMC.
