Hello lovely peeps
Today's card features the Squirrel from the Little Acorn stamp set by Sheena Douglass.
First I painted water all over a square of watercolour card and dropped Brusho crystals into it - gamboge, orange, light brown and turquoise. I moved the colours around with a wet paintbrush and water spritzer before drying with a heat gun.
Next I stamped the squirrel with Black Archival Ink and coloured him in with a mix of light brown and scarlet Brushos.
The little spots of colour I ended up with looked a little like flowers so I painted on stems and some ground with diluted grey Brusho and a fine paintbrush.
I trimmed the finished piece down and mounted it on a white 6x6 card blank - it's finished off with a sentiment from an old Crafters Companion stamp set called Dreamy Daisies.
I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
Glitter n Sparkle #260 Fall/autumn
Lost Coast Designs #41 Animals
Deep Ocean Challenge #165 colours of autumn
