Treats on Tuesday with Christine

Hi Everyone, it's Christine here with a little pencil colouring on black mixed media card.

This card was made by taking black mixed media card and spraying it with Distress Oxide sprays, (mixed media card will stand up to the water based sprays better than regular black card stock). Once it was dry I stamped the bird image on the card and used pencils to colour the image.

The distress sprays give a great mottled effect on the black and adds so much visual texture at the edges, closer to the image I used some pencil colouring to soften the background.
