My birds

There's still time to enter the give away! Scroll down two posts. . .

I absolutely fell in love with this set of bird canvases from Pottery Barn, but. . .
they are no longer available, and the last one slipped through my fingers on ebay. So, I attempted to make my own. I feel so crafty!

I'm really happy with how the birds and colors turned out, but the mod podge dried streaky, and it also made the paper pucker. Any suggestions on how to fix this from all you creative people?
