Cardmaking - wax resist backgrounds coloured with watercolour and some fun little birds

I am finally getting to making my Christmas thank you cards!!!  I fussy cut the birds (TH) and was looking for something cool and interesting to layer them onto and found a small stack of backgrounds I made a while back using wax resist and watercolour.  I used texture sheets and embossing folders under my cardstock to create the wax resist layer and then had fun adding colour!!  You can see that I used several different ones on each background just for fun and variety!!  These so belong together!!!  I did not cut out the space between the legs  - instead I coloured it to coordinate with the background. It was fiddly enough as it was to get the little feathers and the bulgy eyes cut out well.  I treated the tops and bottoms with different techniques - layered on embossed and paper pierced strips, little multi coloured hearts, gold sticky dots, border punched and added little holes and dots made with clear glitter gel pen!!!  I did highlight the edges of their eyes and pupils with a bit of clear glitter gel pen which adds just a bit of dimension - perfect!!!  Love them!!!!  Therese
