Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Taken with Teal, Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, and Whisper White.
Now, I had this birdie on my desk for over a week. I've made other projects with him, ironically, in Taken with Teal and Baja Breeze. So, using this guy was a GIVEN! LOL! Speedy the Cat likes it when I don't pull my already thinning hair out when I try to come up with a challenge card, so this was a great morning! LOL!
I stamped the Chickadee image with Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink onto Watercolor paper and colored him in with re-inkers and an aqua painter! I'm an impatient sort, so I used my heat tool to dry him. LOL!
Next, I used a Taken With Teal marker to add shadow to the wing. Then, I used an Inkssentials pen to highlight some of the areas.
The only Riding Hood Red is the Tigers Eye from K&Company.
