Sparrow Card...



This is another bird image from StacyStamps. What I like most about this bird collection is the realism of the design. To color this image, I stamped the design on white ultrasmooth cardstock with Momento ink, then colored the bird and flowers with Copic markers. To create the green shading around the image, I once again used a watercolor pencil and blended it out with a wet paint brush. I have found this to be much easier than trying to shade out and get the effect I am looking for. I cut the image out with a Spellbinders circle, then cut an ivy green circle, followed with a black Lacey Circle. The pola dot squares are 2 colors of BoBunny Double Dot cardstock, with a few pearls for an accent.
Have a great day!
