Hello again!
A quick post to share the card made for this week's sketch challenge at Paper Players. It offers a lot of options and was perfect for the masculine birthday card I wanted to make.
I decided to use the quail image from Walk in the Wild, which was the perfect size to use as the focal point in the sketch.
The base is one of the new In Colors, Tip Top Taupe. After using it for this card I am in love with this neutral! I stamped it with the Hardwood stamp in the same color, then used my Stampamajig to line up and stamp the sentiment.
The quail was stamped on Watercolor paper, then the background laid on with an Aquapainter. After that dried I added the grass and used a marker to create more "grass" in the background. A Blender pen was used to color the detail on the bird and stump.
The water color image was layered with Basic Black and Soft Sky card stock. The black really made the image pop. Antique brads were then added to the horizontal piece of Basic Black as a finishing touch.
Thanks so much for the visit! I'd love to hear from you if you have a moment to leave a comment. Be sure to use the link above to join in the fun at Paper Players, or at least pop over and enjoy all the great inspiration! Take care!
Hugs,
Stef
