Started off with a Distress Ink background - I used brushes for this one.
Needed to mask some of the stamped images, and to do that I usually stamp the image on a post-it note and cut round it, but this time I decided to try the Pebeo Drawing Gum.
What a revelation! No more post-it notes for me! This stuff is so easy to use. The usual artist's masking fluid I've got is very gloopy and ruins brushes; not this stuff. It is very liquid, so you can paint it over small details, the brushes wash out in water, and it is easy to rub off. Just remember to make sure the overstamped ink has dried first! (Oops! - but I managed to disguise that little slip!)
I then coloured with Distress Ink pens, added some words, and a very fetching hat (stamped on sticky backed foil). Finished with a little charcoal pencil for shadows.
The March Craft Stamper challenge is Anything Goes, as long as it involves stamping, so, perfect for my crazy birds!
Dedicated to all my friends out there - most of you are a little crazy at times - you know who you are!

ReplyDeleteWhat stamp set did you use for verbiage?
ReplyDeleteHi Nanette - if you are referring to the words, I didn't use a stamp, but typed and printed from my computer.
