Chickadee Card from StacyStamps

If you are a bird lover, you will love the collection of birds images from StacyStamps. This little chickadee is sitting on a milkweed pod. I colored the bird and the pod with Copic markers. To get the yellow-ish shading around the image, I used Staedtler watecolor pencil and pencil it with a wet paint brush. Because it is a water-based medium, it did not affect the coloring done with the Copics. It is also a lot easier to get a softly faded background with the watercolor pencils. The piece of yellow cardstock was cut with an EK Success border punch.


Have a great day!
