Back to Archival "Fern Green" and a new set of Indigo Blue stamps ("Enjoy Life" EJ1). I masked off part of the sentiment, inked the top two lines and stamped over the Fossilized Amber tracks. I then used "Old Paper" and Peeled Paint" distress inks and a blending took to color in the background and darken the card front edges. Bird was attached using foam dots and the card front was attached to a prefolded blue card from Memory Box.:
The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for May 20, 2015, as explained by the design team, is to use one or more stencils in one or more ways (texture pastes, ink, paint, stamps, and/or ???) on a project . I am trying to pull out a different selection of tools, inks and papers each time I enter one of these challenges and this time, I went with the "Tracks" layering stencil (THS044). I stenciled through it with "Fossilized Amber" Distress Ink and a blending tool. I then moved the stencil to another part of my card front and applied Ranger's Texture Paste through it (notice that I apparently didn't clean my stencil very well as there is some "Fossilized Amber" tinting in some of the texture paste). This, then was my stencil application: Now, this stencil isn't called "Tracks" for nothing (in my opinion, anyway). It sure looks like some birds were marching in ranks down the paper. So of course, I HAD to use one fo the "Crazy Birds" (CMS212). I stamped one of the birds in Archival "Fern Green" on white card stock and colored him with some of the Inktense pencils I was gifted with last Christmas. I used "Apple Green", 114 and "Teal Green, 1300, with a water pen to color the bird, "Sun Yellow", 0200, to color his beak, and "Madder Brown, 1920, to highlight his eyes. After he dried, I fussy cut out the bird.
