Using a blended paper and gessoed background,
I tinted the edges with Pumice Stone Distress Ink
and then used Rock Candy Stickles round the edge to
make it crusty and crunchy.
I found the bird image in an old book
and thought I'd have them pecking at little sparkles,
although officially they are 'seeking beech-mast'.
See you next week!
Gorgeous tag Joanna
