Mixed Media Card Challenge #9

Hello there! Another month and another season and the start of another challenge at the Mixed Media Card Challenge. The theme is Spring and the optional element is a bird.


I began with a piece of watercolour paper and used the reverse stencil technique to add the background with distress inks. Then I stamped the flowers and coloured them with a combination  of Inktense pencils, Faber Castell big brush markers and glittter pen and I also went over the outline with a copic black outline marker.  The flower stamp and stencil are from Penny Black.  I used a stencil and stamp to add some depth to the background. The bird is from Heroo arts and was coloured with Twinkling H2Os.



Thanks for visiting and I hope you will visit the Mixed Media Card Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT have created and then play along with us.

I'm entering this in the Simon Monday No Rules challenge and the Simon Wednesday Anything goes Challenge

ETA: I'm also entering my card in the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge - Birds of a Feather.
