I first started by diluting the DOX inks and smooshed the colors on watercolor paper and added a few water splashes. Then using a small dot stencil, dabbed in the tempting turquoise & tangerine inks.
Stamped the bird image with tangerine on a scrap piece of turquoise DP and fussycut. Using diluted liquid pearls, added swirl patterns to the bird (the shine doesn't show in the photo), then outlined the bird with white gel pen.
I found an amazing new line of stamps and ephemera at Michaels crafts called Finnabair, aka Anna Dabrowska- an incredible mixed media artist.
The stamp set has a variety of celestial images along with THE SMALLEST words I've ever seen! They were the perfect addition to stamp randomly on the card.
I then stamped the sun & moon in the middle of the card which is then slightly covered with my bird.
Added gelatos around the edge with my finger and then again under each of the words. With a thin paint brush, I underlined each word with pumpkin pie.
And a brush stroke of same color in lower right corner and glued wooden feather.
And finally, doodled a border with journal pen.
This took a life of its own as I started this project and pleased with the results.

I'm playing catch up becuase I got to spend a few days at Lynn's this week. We didn't get to fit stamping into our schedule on Friday, but loved both of these challenges so got to do it today. I love how you combined these two as well. Love that pretty background. So artsy!!
