Birthday Birdie.... Deconstructed Sketch #59

I got a chance to play along with the Deconstructed Sketch yesterday.

Here's Sketch #59:

I used papers from Footloose and stamps from Life Is Tweet, last month's Stamp of the Month.

The bird is reverse masked, then sponged with ink:  Creme Brulee and Tulip, and Sweet Leaf and Lagoon.

I saw a great tutorial (possibly even a video) on the reverse masking with this bird image earlier this week, possibly last week, but I now can't recall who did it.  If someone knows, please let me know, and I'll add the link to my post.  Thanks.

And of course I had to add a googlie eye to the bird; it just needed it!  lol

Happy creating!
