Rooster WP938
LaChantecler H23031
Other: Arteza Real Brush Markers
Arteza FineLiner Pens
How I made it:
I had fun creating the background for this card. I laid down some pigment from the Arteza Real Brush Markers in random spashes onto a glass mat, then spritzed it with water from my fine mist sprayer.
I then dabbed a panel of bristol paper into the color splashes, and repeated until I had reached the desired coverage on my panel. When that had dried, I lightly stamped the wire mesh from the Rooster set onto the background, intermittently. I adhered the panel to an A2 card front.
On another panel, I stamped the LaChantecler image, and distressed the edges, then added it to the background.
Next, I stamped the rooster from the Rooster set onto another panel, and colored him with my Arteza FineLiner Pens. I love these pens for their brilliance and their very fine tips, which make it easy to color itty-bitty areas. I fussy-cut him, and added him to the panel.Lastly, I stamped the verse from the same set.
INSIDE: I stamped another rooster from the same set, inking it with my Arteza markers, then stamping it. I drew a box to create a space for a message.
That's it.
