House Finch in Fall

Hello friends.

Our leaves are finally starting to change color so I thought
this would be a good card to share today.

This stamp is really large!

I placed it in my MISTI and stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink
on a piece of Arches cold press watercolor paper cut to 5 x 7 inches.

Then I decided that I wanted to ink the stamp with my Zig markers instead of
doing a no line watercolor.

I stamped small sections and moved the ink with a water brush
repeated the process until I was happy with the colors.

When it was all dry, I colored the sky using the wet on wet technique.

I trimmed the piece just a little and mounted it on a card base.


The bird is much redder than it should be.  I need to work on that.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
