Fabulous card Christine. I love how you've used the ledger paper as your starting point. Adding gesso really tones it down and makes it more neutral. Love the embossing and soft colours you've added on top. Your bird is gorgeous ... great colouring. xx

Such an artistic card, Christine! I love how you made use of a printed card by adding color and texture to it. Gesso has wonderfully softened both the colors and the print. Perfect background for this beautiful bird. You are an amazing artist!
