I'm not sure if you can see the occasional spritzes of white in the background of the Joseph's pieces. Originally it was a piece that I colored with cotton balls & chalk ink then tried some gesso techniques on. I didn't end up using this section on anything then, but I loved the colors - especially for this!
I believe this is a fairly new stamp from Hampton Art, but if you're looking for it at Michaels you need to look for a much larger rectangle. I used circle punches to get different sized pieces of the stamped piece once it was coated with ep.The bird was given a little extra sparkle with a black Spica marker from Copic. I also used a little Pine Needles Distress Ink on the background piece since the original paper was a little too light (and yellow!). Otherwise, it's all pretty self evident.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Mari - love this card - the circles against the back background really pop!
This card is so striking! LOVE it!
ok, now i have to go look up the term "josephs coat" cause i have NO IDEA how you did that but it's SOOOOOOOO flippin' awesome!
hey, i was a-thinkin' of you the other day when i was doing some spray inking practice with a tim mask and everything! (i mean that i used one of his little plastic flourishes to cover my paper, not that i was DRESSED UP as tim holtz...tho if it made me a littler "techniquier" i'd totally TRY IT!!!) anyway, the whole time i was playing & inking & stamping i was thinking, "i have to tell mari this!!!"
ok, so a bit off topic but you DID mention gesso: HOW do you do it with a spray bottle?! b/c i would get like 3 GORGEOUS sprays of lovely opaque white dots...and then spend 30 minutes cleaning my clogged sprayer pump thingie...is there a trick or is my gesso just not thinned out enough??
