Merry Monday #219 {Birds} |
Hello! Hope you all had a nice weekend!
We took a drive up to the mountains to see the fall colors.
It was beautiful! We were blessed with a storm and lots of rain here in CA.
I blended the background with an old brush and a mix of spring rain inkers.
My first two attempts were way too dark.
I always knew I was going to mix these two sets (Winter Village and Post & Parcel)
and create a birdhouse .
Thank You!
