I made this for the NZ cardswap; we had to use a faux torn mosaic technique. I didn't enjoy doing this one much, so diecut it and used it for background. I used one of Tim Holtz bird diecuts (which I really like), inked the edges etc and gave him a twig to help with the nest building (it's spring here and the birds are nesting). The torn up mosaic snippets are from offcuts of another project.

Beautiful Carol. Even if you didn't enjoy the process, it turned out awesome.
