I created this card for the Color Throwdown (CTD51) and the MOJO Monday (MOJO95) sketch. I stamped the main image onto watercolor paper I picked up at the craft store using black Staz On ink.
Since I don't own any Copics yet, I still color with markers and an aqua painter :] I find this technique to be easier than using colored pencils and mineral spirits...though I love the look achieved using the latter method! Maybe I just need lessons :O)
The bird was stamped onto the DSP with Lavender Lace ink and then stamped onto white cs in black. I cut it out and layered it over the lavender bird using dimensionals. I like how it gives the illusion of a shadow. The lavender background was embossed using a Cuttlebug folder.
