Hi everyone. I'm back with a watercoloured card using a new stamp (Chirping - Penny Black).
I stamped the image onto Tan Mixed Media Paper in Ranger Archival ink Coffee. I used Distress Inks: Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wildnerness, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain, Ground Espresso, Rusty Hinge, and Black Soot to watercolour the image. I stamped a simple sentiment (Banner Sentiments - Penny Black) in more of the Coffee Archival Ink.
Close-up ...
I'm sending this card to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Optional: Masculine. :)
And I'm also entering into NBUS Challenge #51 (never-before-used-schtuff). I just bought this and I'm so happy I used it right away --- that doesn't happen often. :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautifully watercolored bird and nature scene, Lolly! I love how you used your tan MM paper for a more natural earthy card design. TFS Love and Hugs..Nancy
Very Pretty Loll!!!!
It's beautiful, what a great idea to use that tan coloured card. It works so well. We have a robin that keeps guard in out garden. He always comes to inspect what is going on xx
What a lovely image! Your colouring is perfect! I'm heading off to the airport in an hour - please forgive me if I don't comment on your cards while I'm away. I'm going to take as much of a computer break as I can while in England!
Wow, love this image and love the way you have colored it Loll! Just gorgeous! Hugs, Brenda
Love this Loll. A beautiful image coloured to perfection. x
What a lovely card, Loll! I love the tan mixed media paper you used! It gives such a natural look to the scene! Your coloring is wonderful, as always! Sue N
This is beautifully watercoloured with some great colours Loll, and I love the tan mixed media paper which is the perfect colour...just that bit paler than kraft card so doesn't change the look of the colours. x
What a charming little bird! Pretty card, Loll!
Oh Loll this is such a delightful card - sure to cheer the recipient.
Blessings

Love your use of the tan MM paper for this card Loll, works so well. :)
Oh I so love the coloring on the kraft mixed media paper. So charming.
This is delightful and water colored so beautifully. Your shading is always right on.
This is such a sweet image, Lolly. Your beautiful coloring makes it even sweeter and I love the color of the card base you used ~ so perfect with the image and colors. Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Dolly
Your card really speaks to my bird loving heart, Loll. Beautiful watercoloring, my friend.
Love this sweet bird and pretty leaves, Lolly! Excellent job of watercoloring, my friend!
Such a sweet image and you've colored it beautifully, Loll - love the almost vintage-y look to this!!
Beautifully done Loll!

Loll, this is just gorgeous! I love it on the tan paper. Gives it that earthy garden look. Anything birds... It took me about one minute to decide to buy this stamp when it first came out. You've sure made it beautiful here!
This is so beautifully painted. It has such a soft and ethereal look to it. Love the soothing colors too. Perfectly done!
WOW, WOW, WOW!! This is so pretty on the tan paper Loll and your water coloring is FABULOUS!! This would be so pretty framed...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
Beautifully coloured, I love how it looks on the tan paper ♥
You image is lovely stamped in the lighter brown instead of black Loll - I have to remember to do that! Beautiful water coloring of your sweet bird and stump! Julia xx
What a lovely bird card, Loll! Your soft watercoloring on the Tan MM paper brings a sweet organic nature scene to life. Love that you used Coffee ink for stamping instead of Black!
