INSPIRATION STATION #69











Welcome to our first challenge of 2025 with Inspiration Station.  How wonderful is this image ?  I received some wonderful new watercolours by Winsor and Newton for Christmas and just really wanted to try and reproduce the image using them.  

I used watercolour paper for my background and mixed a few of the colours to get what I wanted.  I wanted to try a Bokeh technique and used white paint to create the background.  The foliage stamps are by Alison Bomber and the bird is a very old one from Kaisercraft. 

I look forward to seeing how you are inspired by our image. 

I'm adding this into the following challenges:

Let's Create - Sentiment 
Stamping Sensations - Hand Coloured 
Pink Gem - AG
