Grey Heron

Hello and happy Friday! My card today is one I shared at the release party last week. I used images from my latest set, Follow Your Dreams.

I stamped the heron with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics, starting with C5.

Added C3.

Then filled in with C1.

I used B93 to add a bit of a blue tinge to the feathers, and used N5 to deepen the shadows.

Used E53 on the beak and legs.

Next I heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder. I used a Versa Mark pen to cover the image so the embossing powder would have something to stick to.

Then I sponged Memento Summer Sky.

I masked the top using a sticky not and sponged Memento Bahama Blue.

I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and used a Turquoise Sea card base.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
