River King

Hello and welcome to my blog  :)  I am sharing one of my Chocolate Baroque samples today, from last month's shows on tv.  I have used stamps from the Kingfisher Song and Sticks and Stones sets; water colour paints, Distress Oxides, sepia Versafine ink, clear EP.

On a piece of Drawing Cartridge I stamped the Kingfisher, branch and bridge scene images in sepia Versafine ink, then embossed them with clear EP.  I made some masks out of masking tissue and masked the images.  I then created the background, painting with watercolours.  I created a dawn (or dusk) sky and a calm, tranquil riverside scene.  When the background was dry I removed the masks and painted the images. 

I matted the focal panel onto dark card, then on a spare piece of white card I stamped and embossed the Flag Iris image twice before painting them with the water colours.  I used a white acrylic paint pen to add highlights to the Kingfisher.  I cut out the flowers and attached them to the focal panel with 3D glue.

I took a white base card and stamped several worker images around the edges using Distress Oxide inks.  I then attached the FP to the base card.

This is a lovely card that would suit any occasion and any recipient, a lovely Spring scene.  I am especially pleased with the background and the way the colours have blended.  

Thank you for popping in today I hope you have enjoyed my post.  Feel free to browse my other posts, maybe leave me a comment, and I hope you'll be back again soon  :)
