I took inspiration from the inky background and the silhouette image on Anita's card.... I used Tim Holts distress inks,they seem to work the best for me since I have issues blending so I went for coverage then sprinkled with water..I like the blotchy look!
I used a stencil from the crafters workshop called Mini birds of a feather (now don't laugh but as I was looking at my card as I'm writing this I noticed something missing! I had to mask a lot of the stencil because it had a bunch of bird cages but I only wanted one on the branch...I totally forgot I wanted that on cage LOL and didn't realize I hadn't inked that part of the stencil until just now! )
Anyway I really like how it turned out!

ReplyDeleteLoving your interpretation of Anita's stunning MUSE card; thank you for sharing your idea of sprinkling water when one's ink blending isn't what one had hoped for. I'm going to remember this.

Beautiful colour choice. Your card is really peaceful!
ReplyDeleteI like this because you went with a different palette and it looks like beyond the tree is a foggy valley. Well done.
