Instructions

This project started with the background of Multi-Surface Grey paint and Pearl Ink in Black applied to paper, I worked with cotton rag for the texture, generously misted with water to diffuse the media, creating a smoky effect.

As it dried, it was the turn of the Dina Wakley Media Chipboard Sprig to have some media applied. After applying Gesso, drops of Hickory Smoke and Ground Espresso Distress Re-Inkers, misting with water.

Onto cardstock scrap, which will be layered to Craftyboard Circle, applying touch of Walnut Ink and Hickory Smoke Re-Inker.

Layered to the Circle, a small tag, stained with Walnut Ink before inking up the small bird stamp. A scrap of walnut ink stained muslin trapped behind the tag.

Selecting one of the text stamps from The Language of Trees, inking up only the word contentment, stamping onto scrap of walnut ink stained cardstock.
