I stamped Impression Obsession's image on watercolored paper.
I used Graphigum to painted all the space that I want to keep without color.
I sprayed colorwash on my paper.
When the color was dry, I took off the graphigum by passing my finger over the gum.
I added glossy and sparkles on the birds and glued little green crystal.
I punched oval shape and cut it in two part using each one on the edge of the card.
I added pewter flowers.

Oh - just beautiful. Love the whimsical idea of the birds growing in the field, and the little pewter flowers remind me of some of my grandmother's old jewellery.

Beautiful card... techniques used sound interesting although I'm not at al familiar with Graphigum or colorwash on hot pressed paper... can you point me to a tutorial or video of them? Thanks for sharing!

Diane, I have no idea what graphigum is and cant understand your directions. I absolutely love this card. It's perfectly magnificent and so your style. Hugs.
