AMAZING card Christine! Love that mottled look of the DOX inks on black mixed media paper. I have had my paper for ages and not even tried it yet! My bad!! The penciling colouring of the bird and branch worked so well overtop of the DOX sprays. Another good thing to know!! xx

Love the contrast between the blues of the bird and the background! An awesome card, my friend!

Wow, such beautiful pencil coloring. I especially love the texture of the tree. My pencils are getting to be my favorite medium.

Leslie Miller said...

Beautiful pencil coloring, and that background -- wow! You do some pretty fabulous things with sprays. It's been years since I had any sprays because I always warped the paper. To heavy handed, or maybe sprays have improved. You're making me rethink the sprays issue.

Your background looks so amazing! It perfectly highlights this bird on the branch. Great use of this stamp and the way you used it is very inspiring. Thank you for the description of this card on the Magenta blog.
