This stamp is called Lovely Landing (40-807). I love this sweet bird sitting on the branches watching the snow come down. :)
I started by smooshing the background with Iced Spruce and Speckled Egg distress inks. The image was stamped with Basic Gray ink and heat embossed in clear. The bird was watercoloured with more of the Iced Spruce and Speckled Egg distress inks and then pops of colour for the berries using Barn Door and Aged Mahogany distress inks. White acrylic paint was diluted and used to add snow to the branches and then splattered over the whole image for the falling snow. To finish, a sentiment (Bright & Light 30-762) was stamped in Versamark onto black card stock and heat embossed in white; then adhered to the bottom of the card.

OMG..LOVE your soft wintery colors for your background and watercolored bird and all your snow splatters. The bird on the winter branches with berries looks so at home in its natural environment, Lolly. You are making me add to my wishlist, my friend:-) Happy Holiday and Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteA beautiful PB stamp and I love the soft and gentle colours with that pop of red for the berries Loll, and lots of white acrylic falling snow which looks softer diluted and works well here and the white on black sentiment complements it too. x

ReplyDeleteWhat struck me the most is the fabulous, winter background! Who know iced spruce and speckled egg would make that color? Fantastic job of creating winter on this card. I’m also green with envy that you can splatter so well without serious damage to the card and walls.
ReplyDeleteThat smooshed background gives a wonderful wintery feel to this lovely scene and the red berries provide the perfect pop of colour. Love it xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful winter sky. The bird looks right at home on his branch with soft red berries.
ReplyDeleteBirds just tug at my heart, Loll, and this one shivering in the cold makes me want to give him a scarf. lol Love the colors you chose for a stormy winter sky.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Loll! I love birds and this sweet fella had his feathers all fluffed out to keep him nice and warm. I know it's cold where you live - little chilly here in Northern Florida. I love birds and this image is as cute as they come. Hope your feeding your winter birds!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Loll!!!
