I finally stamped again today - it is Wednesday afterall and I had to make a Sympathy card without using any flowers. Not too hard, right? LOL! Actually, it wasn't hard but I don't have a Sympathy stamp so I had to substitute "From the Heart". It could work for a Sympathy card, I think. I combined this challenge with Sketch Challenge 164. I love those challenges because I always need ideas for layouts.
The bird and sentiment were stamped with Timber Brown Stazon. Then I colored the image with my SU markers on water color paper and blended with an Aquapainter. The jury (IMO) is still out on how the image turned out- I am not sure I like the water lines.....but it is a hazard of water-coloring, I guess. At least for me.
CS: (All SU) Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, Sage Shadow; SU Outlaw DP (retired)
Ink: Timber Brown Stazon, SU Markers: Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, Sage Shadow
Accessories: Aged Copper Brads, Brown satin ribbon (non SU)
Thanks for looking!

This card is wonderful and your watercoloring is smashing. I absolutely love the shadow around the bird. If I was only so talented . . . I will have to just admire your work and dream!
