Here's another card I made using dark card as the background to my image. I used Versamark to stamp my bird image on grey, then coloured it with pencils - I found a twig image and added that too .... the bird image wasn't clearly outlined so I used my Misti to align and restamp in charcoal ink and it worked beautifully. I added some light grey pastel to break the background and added a stamped sentiment. To finish I layered the panel to two matching shades of cardstock onto a black card. I don't do 'dark' very well nor male cards so I think these colours would suit a male birthday card. I am posting to
Watercooler Wednesday WWC119 - Masculine "Anything Goes" challenge. Thanks for taking a peek
Hi Robyn, Loving your recent cards.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a nice week. Sue
Hi Robyn, for a person who doesn't do dark well nor male cards, you've certainly proven the opposite with this card. Stunning bird against that darker grey. I love the way you've used the lighter grey pastel to spotlight the bird as well---very effective. Your colours bring that bird and twig to life. Thanks so much for taking part in Judy's Masculine anything goes challenge at our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
