The new sketch this week begged for some sunshine today, so I whipped out the Close to My Heart March Stamp of the Month, Sunshine Birdies. Here's your sneak peek!
I used my watercolor paints, paper, and medium round brush to create the background. The sun was stamped first in Memento Ink, but I wasn't happy with the dullness after I painted, so I took a fine tip black marker over it again.
A sprinkle of Pretty Pink Posh sequins gives a little sparkle to the flat paint. I colored the sentiment with my ShinHan markers and trimmed it out into a flat-bottomed cloud. I wasn't done yet, though--I added some vellum cloud layers and white gelly roll accents.
I love everything about this card! This scene you've created is fantastic - great mix of image and background. Thanks for joining us at FMS this week!
