This is primarily for Polly's Complimentary Colours MIXed media challenge. Not a lot of mixed although I used both dye and pigment inks, I did also use Liquid Pearls, Nuvo clear drops and an SN clear glitter pen.
As I used Dina's Ghost Stamping tutorial, it also works for Jayne's WT challenge from yesterday. Funny, I didn't remember that tutorial at all and yet I had two cards in the gallery created using it.
I stamped the bird and embossed with clear EP. Stamped the Funky background in white pigment ink and sponged it off the bird outline. Masked the bird and sponged the background with Salty Ocean. I was going to reverse mask and sponge the bird with Spiced Marmalade, but in the end I just painted him in with re-inker. I mixed the blue and orange to get his beak green to help it stand out. Blue Liquid Pearls round his eyes, and the Stickles are actually orange, believe it or not. I used clear SN glitter pen on his eyes and on part of the sentiment. I hope a neutral-ish was ok to add -I stamped the Prickles in in gold. Edged it with a black Sharpie and drew another border inside. I found 5 black Sharpies and not one of them was my dual tip one with a fine point :-(.

Fantastic! What a cool bg for your bird! I love the saying...I like the stickles and liquid pearl accents, too. What a fun card....great use of your two colors.
This is so beautiful! The bird really stands out in the background of blue! I love all the pretty details you added. The gold is lovely. I have seen this sentiment on FB, I think. I need to find a masculine one for someone I love who is struggling. Beautiful card!

Wow fav’d. I love all of this. It just popped in the gallery and I knew I would love it before opening. TFS and glad that you tried the ghosting technique again. Love the sentiment. Happy day and hugs
