This months Photo is superb! I had so much fun with this new challenge.
Here is the card, I created inspired by this photo :)
 
I diecut the edge od the watercolor panel, stamped the bird and did some wet on wet watercoloring. Then I used the stencil and traced along the cuts of the leaves with gold gel pen. I also drew some detail lines on the leaves. To finish the card I layered the panel on patterned paper :)
Here are a few more shots...
