I've been playing with layers on this card. Starting with drawing the shapes of random pebbles toward the base of the card. I then painted the shapes using Prima Watercolour Confections "Tropicals" paint and a gold shimmer paint by CSY Art Gallery..
I then stamped the clocks and flowers background, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Garden Elements - TE30" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink. I then stamped the wren, from the same stamp set, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink. But it looked too solid, so I stamped it again on a piece of white card using Versaifne Clair "Acorn" a mid brown coloured ink. I then coloured the brown stamped image using Van Goch pastel pencils, fussy cut the shape and glued over the black stamped image.
To finish, I used a black fine liner pen to draw round the pebble shapes and added some black dots to some of the pebbles too.
That's a great mix of elements Sam and the pebble shapes add a different dimension to it, and I love that you can see the stamped images through them, and the bird on which you add another layer stands out brilliantly. x
