First post!

Welcome! I have Linda (you know who you are ;o) to thank for hounding me in the nicest way possible to start this artwork blog LOL so here it is.

Finished card measures 6 1/8" x 4 5/16"

This card features an unmounted stamp from After Midnight of two zebras in a rectangle. I masked them and added the trees from another of the AM stamps picturing trees, a mountain, an elephant and a water/pond scene. Coloring medium is pencils, and I used Gamsol and a blending stump on the sky.

The letters are from the Hero Arts set Pastel Pop Alphabet. I stamped them in Stampin' Up!'s True Thyme on white cardstock and then colored the letters in with a black Zig pen.

The background is textured black cardstock with Antique Silver Pearl Ex applied randomly and sealed with a fixative spray. This piece is adhered to an olive green card front, and there is olive mulberry paper under the main image.

*tip*

the easiest way to tear mulberry paper is to set a ruler where you'd like the line, paint with a waterbrush, wait a minute, then tear apart slowly

Thanks for looking!
