This is 1 out of the 3 cards I did with this theme.
I heat embossed the stamped image of the bird, onto standard white cardstock, with black embossing powder. Then I colored it in with my copic markers. I matted it on white cardstock that I colored in with the Distress Ink pad (spiced marmalade).
The other technique I used was coloring the blue rectangles. I took Glossy cardstock this time and heat embossed the "Distressed Background" rubber stamp, made by hobby lobby, with white embossing powder. Then, I inked it with the Adirondack Alcohol ink Sail Boat Blue.
