Supplies and notes:
- Dina Wakley's birds are center stage here, stamped in Ranger Archival and painted with Loew Cornel watercolors to resemble zebra finches. I had zebra finches in college-- loved them. Anywho, FYI, these are both males on the card-- the stamp appears to have the cheek-patch, so I went that route
- Next, the glorious grid is a stamp by Andrea at Snapping Monsters... go see if she has more sets at her store!
- I added the ink splatters by using some Tea Dye DI + high-quality H20 dripped onto the surface, and finished the panel by daubing Tea Dye DI anywhere the grid was
- The terra cotta-colored mat came in a stack from my best friend years ago
Super cute! I'm way happy with this card, and especially pleased that it could go to any gender of person for multiple occasions... exactly what I need in my stash.
I'd like to share this at Creative With Stamps:
