Birds of a Fearther art journal spread with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Birds of a Feather".



It was time for an art journal spread once again. I started to stamp the edges with the Halftone stamp. Then I gave the bottom a light green color with Opal Magic Green-Gold paint and the top a light blue color with Nuvo Mousse Aquamarine. On top I've applied Copper Crackle Paste with the Ricket stencil.

 

When the crackle paste was dry, I played around with the infusions to create more depth and more color. And of course it needed birds, and I chose the Scribbly Birds. I colored them with Distress Oxide, the left one is a redbreast/robin and the right one is a cardinal. Well, that is what I hope they  look like, LOL!
