Bird Builder punch - Stampin' Up

Well this is a new technique I just learned.  Behind the pretty little bird are rays making the bird seem as if it is enjoying the early morning sun.  This was done using masking & sponging & although this card was done with pool party ink pad (a subtle pale blue) it could be done with various shade to give sunsets, meadows or even rainbows.

Will be trying this using different colours over the coming weeks but really pleased at my first attempt.
