Treats on Tuesday with Christine - La gâterie du mardi avec Christine


Hi Everyone, it's Christine here with an easy mixed media background and this pretty bird.

To make the card I tore a piece of ledger paper and stuck it to some card stock using matt medium. 
When it was dry I painted over it with gesso to mute the colour of the ledger paper which was quite dark. 
When that dried I did a little background stamping along the edge with a script stamp and used an embossing folder to create some texture on the surface. 
I swiped distress inks over the embossed area and added a little stamping to the background. 
I then tore two of the edges to add extra texture, to make the edge stand out I blended distress inks around all of the edges. 
I stamped the bird on watercolour paper, coloured it and fussy cut it out before sticking it to the background.

What a cool background with all the stamping, tearing, gesso and embossing. Your bird stands out so much against the soft colours. Great work Christine!
