Normally I'm not good at using pre-coloured images, but this last couple of weeks I've been thankful to have the ones which I coloured in bed back in January; they're a stepping-stone to a quicker card which is all I have time for just now.
The bird had been coloured with Polychromos pencils.
Today I decided to revisit Karen's recent TLC675 Acetate Inking challenge, to see if I could get something closer to the linear effect she achieved. My first go came out as looking pretty much like wrinkle free distress, happy with the the way this looks. It sent me looking for a vertical sentiment to stamp on it. That's SMOOSH and SPRAY, since I smooshed the inks on to the acetate and sprayed with water.
I SPATTERED gold Twinkling H2Os over the top part of the bird side (masking him off loosely), and stencilled the bottom. Edged with a gold pen and then a Sharpie for more definition. Couldn't decide whether I liked the sequins or not, but in the end I left them on. There's Glossy Accents on the bird's beak.

I love the way your bird looks like he's in the spotlight - standing in the mostly white. I like the looks of the stenciled portion too. A nice looking card!!

Your cards are a treat for technique lovers. The side panel is beautiful ...i love the colors. The sequins are perfect and mimic the gold splatter as well as the other colors.
