Sweetest Sound Bluebirds

This is my favorite stamp for anniversaries this year.

I've inked up the Sweetest Sound stamp with Distress Markers,

spritzed and stamped on Mixed Media Paper.

I used an Aqua Painter to move the colors around a bit

and to add more color where needed.

(I smooshed ink onto a craft sheet to pick up.)

When it was good and dry, I wet the background in sections

and added a bit of color for a light wash.

It needed something in the top left corner so

I inked the smaller branch, spritzed and stamped.

The Love was inked with a Distress Marker.

(I only used part of a sentiment.)

I had it on the MISTI so I could stamp a second time

but decided I liked the watercolor look of the fainter sentiment.

The design is mounted on a piece of Chocolate Chip 

and that is mounted on a piece of fun foam.

I'll enter this at Penny Black and More

ANYTHING GOES

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
