I used a wooden embellishment from Michaels as a mask, and went over my background with Tattered Angels spay in "cork." Also some distress ink around the borders.
The sparrow is a print and cut from my own work - I drew him freehand from an 1860 or so ornithological reference picture. Then when I liked the stage the sketch was at - you guessed it - scan and print onto computer paper, cut and paste and paint over the sketch, used as an underpainting.
Love the Sparrow! :)
