Thank you so, so much for the kind comments yesterday and for the very constructive help. I have made a couple of very minor tweaks based on what you said. I used a soft charcoal pencil round the edge of the frame then softened it with a paper stump then my finger, and the tiniest bit on the bird. It may be a bit too strong. Maybe another way of doing it would have been to sponge the white die cut frame in the pale turquoise before I glued it down. If you think I have completely ruined the canvas now, don't be afraid to say as I don't feel any attachment to an item once I have made it - I just enjoy the process, and on this occasion it was very experimental and I will certainly be making more and improving. Just don't eat any of my cakes ........

I think the edging round the frame has improved it greatly Lucy, but I hadn't seen that yesterday.
