Hi everyone, 

Donna here today with Treena the bird and a slightly cosmic background.







What to do:


Take a sheet of Strathmore mixed media paper and cut to size to fit a 6x6 card, stamp Treena with black Archival ink and then mask off with masking fluid, splash some of the masking fluid randomly on the background at the same time too, make sure it’s all dry before starting on the background……I know this all too well!

Now sprinkle some Infusions (Violet Storms) over the paper and spritz with water until you’re happy with the colour, dry thoroughly.

Use Distress inks through a couple of Dinky stencils’ to add depth to the background.

Once you’re satisfied that the background is complete, start to remove the masking fluid, when that’s done start to colour in the bird image using a mixture of Distress markers.

As a finishing touch stamp the sentiment that accompanies Treena and heat set with a white embossing powder.

Mount onto black card and then white cardstock, Treena looks out of this world now ;)


Supplies Used:



  
Hope you like it
