Christmas Birds

 

Meet "Christmas Birds".

These birds are by Penny Black and called Feathered. I decided I would split up the birds adding two to the front of the card and one inside, along with the sentiments.

I am using Arches cold press watercolour paper here. I wanted strong colours for the birds so I decided to use my Kuretake Zig markers which would make it easier to achieve the saturated colours.

To do this I am using my mini Misti. I coloured directly on the stamp then spritzed the stamp with water and closed the door to stamp.

My colours are black to outline the birds, Carmine Red, Blue and May Green for the greenery colours in the birds beaks.

Using a Copic marker in B28 I went around the edge heavily to add the darkish blue which shows in the pictures above.

There is a little bit of snow which the birds are walking in, but it does not show very well in the pictures. It shows a bit coming up around the feet.

To finish up my card I stamped the sentiments which are by Picket Fence Inside Quotes using Candy Apple ink by Pinkfresh.

I finished with light blue splatters.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I do hope you enjoy this card.

See you next time.
