PURPLE GEESE

       A little bit of artistic license with this card, purple geese. Love this stamp from Claritystamps, especially the beautiful patterns on it. I have coloured the geese in purple because I want to enter this card into the challenge at Fantasy Stampers, which is the colour purple. 

     First of all stamp the geese into place and the ones flying as well. I used Black Archival for this. Then using the masks that come with the stamp I masked them off. Make sure you position the mask carefully takes a little time but worth the effort.

        Next I created a background using my Gelli plate. Firstly brayered on some shaded lilac distress ink and blotted it with crumpled copy paper. Then pulled off my first print. Then I added some Adirondack Eggplant to half the plate and again blotted it with  well crumpled copy paper. Carefully replaced my card and took off another print. This gives a lovely effect and a nice easy background. Now you can remove the masks from the geese.

                                      

       
          I coloured the birds using Spectrum Noir pencils and used a Sakura glitter pen on their legs. Take your time with the shading using the pencils lightly.

                          

          Finally I trimmed the card and mounted onto some purple glitter card and then a white blank card base. Using a fine black pen I added some little squiggles in two corners to match the design on the geese.

           Quite an easy little card to make but effective. Hope you like it, please leave a comment if you have time. Thank-you  xx
