To make the card I first stamped and masked the letter boxes and wording then added a sun mask. For a nice bright background I applied a mixture of Adirondack Sailboat Blue and Shabby Shutters and Peacock Feathers Distress inks onto the card using brushes. To colour the sun with a mixture of orange and yellow ink I removed the sun mask and covered the background with an aperture mask and then applied some Black Soot Distress ink to create some hills in the background. Once that was all dry I stamped on the birds, birdhouse etc.
I've matted the picture onto another piece of card again coloured with the same blue and green inks and stamped around the edges in black with the branch stamp from this set.
Thanks for looking, your comments will be very welcome.
