The card also features Garden Bushes which I stamped twice onto Bristol Smooth cardstock. I also stamped Winston, May (the flying bird) and Finch the little bird in the shirt. I used my favourite ink for watercolour painting - Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil. I painted all of my images and here is a list of the colours used. Kuretake Zigs in Mid Gray 096, Beige 072, Warm Gray(2) 900, May Green 047, Light Green 041 and Mid Green 046. Cheeks were blushed using a Tombow ABT in shade 761. A few points were highlighted with a Uni-Ball Signo white gel pen.
I masked off the bushes at their base and ink blended the grass using Distress Ink in Cracked Pistachio. The mask was removed and I fussy cut the bush line. I took another A2 panel of cardstock and ink blended it for the sky using Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers. I applied the grass and bushes over the sky panel with dimensional foam tape. I also fussy cut the bunny and birds and also attached them with foam tape. I die cut a slim frame using kraft cardstock. I backed the frame with foam tape and applied it.
The final touches were to stamp the sentiment. I then hand dotted and flecked in tufts of grass using a Kuretake Zig in Green Shadow 049 which nicely tones with the Cracked Pistachio. I blended it out a little with a waterbrush pen and dotted in some white daisies.
I found the wooden floral daises in my sequin stash and adhered them using Ranger Multi Medium Matte which is beautifully strong.
Hope you enjoyed my card, thanks for stopping by.
