Snowy Egret

Hello! I used Follow Your Dreams on my card today. I used the heron image again, but this time I colored it like an egret.

First, I stamped the cattails twice.

I used my YG05 Copic marker on the foliage and E35 on the cattails.

I used G05 to deepen the shading a bit.

I used circle Nestabilities to cut a circle in a sticky note and used it as a mask. I sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink in the circle.

Then sponged Memento Tangelo.

I removed the first mask, then used the circle I had cut out to cover my sponged sun. I sponged Memento Summer Sky around the circle.

Then I masked the top with another sticky note and sponged Memento Bahama Blue.

I removed the mask and sponged lightly with Memento Danube Blue.

To color the egret, I started with C3.

Then added C1. For the legs, I used Y21 and for the beak I used YR12.

I cut out the egret and adhered it to my background. I had originally used the Spellbinders die when sponging to create a white border on the background, but I decided I wanted a black border instead, so I trimmed the white away, then layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and then white. The card base is Pure Luxury Moonlit Fog. I trimmed around the sentiment and adhered it with Pop Dots.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
