Season's Tweetings!

Hello Friends,

Today I was in the mood to ink blend a scene in the background of these two sparrows. I came up with the idea of Christmas in summer so I can send it to my family in New Zealand.

Products used:

#lawnfawn (Winter Sparrows- stamp & dies), #firecrackerdesigns retd. (seagulls, clouds & grass stamps), #rangerdistress inks, #nuvo creative pen (for birds), #catherinepoolerinks (for stamping) & glitter.

DIY stencils were used to mask and ink-blend the sections. The grass & clouds were stamped. The branch & leaves were die cut from color cardstock & shaping tools were used to give dimension to both. The sparrows were stamped, colored, die-cut & fussy cut to get rid of the white edges. Glitter mixed with liquid glue was painted over the accessories. The branch & leaves were glued white dimnsional foam was used for the sparrows. To add a coarse texture to the land, stippling was done with ink & a stencil brush. Finished off with stamped sesgulls & a sentiment.
