There is a new group on Facebook called "Get Inky Card Challenge" which I was invited to join. The first challenge is for September and is "colours" using a specific colour palette, shown below.
I think my photo has made the background look a bit brighter than it is in real life
I started with a white card and used lots of different shades of Distress Oxide Inks, adding, drying then adding another layer. I have no idea what order I iused them or which I used for the squirrel, so I will detail all the shades used here:
Rusty Hinge
Rusty Hinge
Tea Dye
Crackling Campfire
Barn Door
Carved Pumpkin
Ripe Persimmon
Wild Honey
Mustard Seed
Crushed Olive
Mowed Lawn
Peacock Feathers
Chipped Sapphire
The stamps I used are all by Funky Fossil Designs. The squirrel is part of the "Grateful Heart" stamp set and stamped in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink, with added black Posca Pen, pastel pencils,white gel pen detail and dots of "Copper Pearl" Liquid Pearls,
I stamped the trees, part of the Funky Fossil "Badger Trails" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink, fussy cutting them and glued into position with dots of "Avocado" Liquid Pearls.
In the foreground, I used the Funky Fossil "Circle Cascade" stamp with Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink. Adding a white dot of Posca pen to the middle of each swirl.
Finally, I added some shadows using a black fine liner pen and some dots of colour for flowers.
