I used distress inks over the mask for the background then added some crackle stamp & grassy leaf border in Versafine sepia. The bird is a Tando mini which was treated to the distress inks as were the leaves.
**********************
Here is my Calendar page to match...
This time I used the mask as a stencil and just drew around the shape with a fine black pen, adding white pen to some areas. Everytime I look at this page all I can see is St Pauls Cathedral...perhaps its time I went for a return visit to climb all those steps :D I have to say that although this mask is very delicate in design its incredibly sturdy and withstood my scrubbing brush!
