Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Nature Feeds The Soul - TE48" Hen Trio Artist Trading Card

This is my daily Artist Trading Card (ATC).  I've used a gel pres background from my stash as the base.  I stamped the hens in Versafine Clair "Acorn" and "Srawberry" coloured inks, the hens are part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Nature Feeds The Soul TE48" stamp set,  then painted Pebeo Drawing Gum, which is a masking fluid over the top of the stamped hens. 

I used the torn edge of a piece of paper with brown ink remaining on a blending brush to create the landsape.  I then stamped the trees, part of the Tracy Evans "Feed Your Soul TE57" stamp set, in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

I rubbed off the masking fluid from the hens and coloured the trees and hens using Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a black fine liner pen, finally adding some pebbles to the foreground using a gold coloured gel pen.
