I just had to do this one... no two ways about it... I loved it, and mixing of stamps... love to do that too... and then I used my reinkers by Ranger to create the colors... I brayered the color onto the glossy paper.... an also put marks on the brayer prior to putting the ink down... love the textured feeling of it...
After doing this section, I took a very fine pen and outlined the sections of the bird I wanted to stand out...
When I saw this print, I knew that I was also going to use this background paper by K and Company... as it is embossed and glossy too... wow... what fun I had with this one..
Hope you enjoy it too..
Thanks for your comments and also for taking a look see at my work... Have wonderful bright day...
Love to have you visit my blog.. I have some things on there that I haven't put up on line... love to have you visit me and leave some comments... become a follower and just enjoy for a while..Thanks

This is really cool - love that textured brayer look - reminds me of batik which I really love. I have got to try this!

This is stunning, Bonnie!~ As you said, we both used the same piece, but went different directions. That's what is so fun about these IC challenges. Love your little bird.
