Pretty bird cage

The bird on a branch stamp ( Papermainia 'Henbury Lane set), was coloured using brush marker pens directly onto the stamp and stamped onto a smooth white card. Then I used blue chalk to dust over the background of the image. Then using the birdcage stamp (Dimension Fourth) I used Versamark and gold embossing powder (Sheena's Wow Powder). The background papers were from a 'Magnolia' pad from My Minds Eye.

More Polychromos colouring

Stamped image from Crafters Companion 'Celebration Parade' set. Again using all the same techniques as listed below. The background papers came as a free gift with Quick Cards magazine Feb issue.

This stamped image is from the 'Popcorn Bear' series from 'Crafters Companion'. I used a slightly textured paper from 'Papermania' their Preimum white pad. The image was stamped using black Memento ink. I used Polychromos Pencils (Faber Castell) using 2 shades each of yellow, blue and grey. After applying the colour I used a fine paper stump dipped into artist white spirit and blended the colour. Ice Sticles in lemon was used around the edge.
