On the graphic this month you can see our theme:
I have acouple of step out photos:
More colour added, trying to blend the collage elements into the background.
And here the finished piece. I placed the mask on the background and then blended around with the art stick and spray, also using part of the mask to add the additional flowers. While working on the background, I completely lost my bookpaper strips, so I decided to add a paper crown which I just hand drew around the head of the bird on some bookpaper, cut out and then adhered to the bird on my panel.
I computer generated the quote and added some gold acrylic paint still with my finger.
A few doodles and white paintsplatters, plus a little shadowing with a Stabilo All pencil finished it all off.
I guess many of you have been to the challenge blog already, but if you have not, do check it out, and if you would like to play along don't forget to add our graphic to your post so that you can be in with a chance to win.

Love how you used those products and stepped outside your comfort zone and still created a lovely piece of art! Chrisx
Well you may have stepped out of your comfort zone, but you sure didn't miss a step with your creativity and skill. This is beautiful!! Wonderful textures and I love the subtle designs that the background bits created. Can't go wrong with a bird image of any kind, and I love the addition of the doodle flowers. A fabulous design Astrid! hugs :)
