The first challenge is to use the letter B.
I used a brayer to apply acrylic paint onto the background, then I stencilled the leaves with green paint. I stamped the bird [Sheena Douglas stamps] onto the postcard and also onto white card, I coloured the bird on the white card with pencils, I also added colour to the leaves and went round them with a black pen. I cut out a piece of card for the branch, coloured it with pencils and glued it to the postcard. I cut out the bird and glued it over the image on the postcard and added part of a dictionary with the word bird on it. I painted the postcard with Multi Matt Medium and when it was dry I added more colour with my Pitt pens. The letter b was stamped.
Thank you for looking.
