Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Flora and Fauna TE53" bird on a signpost monochrome card

I had another play with the pencil and paper stub technique making this monochrom card.  I masked off all sides of a white piece of card, I used a blending brush with the remainder of black ink on it from a previous project to colour the edges of the masked off area.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink to stamp the sign post, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Flora and Fauna TE53" stamp set, using the same ink, I stamped the bird which is from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "A Promise Of Tomorrow TE63" stamp set.

I used a circle of paper to act as a mask and edged the circle with black inkt that was on one of my small blending brushes from a previous project.  I then started to add depth to the stamped images by using a 2B pencil and a paper stub.  Finally, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the sentiment, saying ""Create your own story", which is part of a Tracy Evans stamp set of the same name, with a reference of TE51.
