It Is A Good Drying Day

Good morning all, 

Thanks so much for popping in. 

Today I have another sample to share with you using stamps from  the new release. 

Not long now. 

Only 2 sleeps. 

As soon as I saw the new Moulted wings I could just picture them hanging out to dry. 

So I set about trying to create what was in my mind. 

This is what I did.

I started by stamping the new English Bluebell stamps.

I thought these would make great end posts for my washing line. 

Next I added the washing line with a fine liner pen…oh and not so steady hand. 

I stamped the wings. 

Then I added the landscape and sky…

I was looking for a moody sky. 

We have had the most amazing skies recently.

This was yesterday morning whilst I was walking Eric. 

I really do get so much inspiration from nature. 

To build up the scene I added some more bluebells.

Followed by some ink blending and water splats to frame the design. 

The  wings needed some colour so I painted them using ink and mica minerals with water. 

I also added some splats of this to give a shimmery, magical feel to the design. 

For the finishing touches I used gel pens and chalk pastel pencils. 

Plus some Orchard grass along the front, just to add some detail in the foreground. 

Then finally I added a touch of the Bell Flower Vine stamp along the top of the design. 

All these finishing touches help to complete the whole look of the piece. 

This is just what I had imagined, 

and I thoroughly enjoyed creating it. 

These new stamps have so many possibilities.

Just let you imagination flow. 

Take care all 

Much love and hugs 

Jo xxxx
