The challenge at LIM this week is to add splatters to a one layer card and I decided to add mine to a "layered" flamingo as we finally got the new Hero Arts release and I couldn't wait to ink up the flamingo!
I stamped the 3 layers of the flamingo in 3 shades of pink ink from MFT and added a little pencil shading to his legs. I love the bold black beak - he really comes alive when you stamp that final little detail. I added the puddle stamps around his legs and then did a quick colour wash over the top to soften them and then stamped them again. I stamped the greenery before the colour wash ensuring I went over the bottoms with the wash to make them look like watery plants. I finished by adding a sentiment from the stamp set and adding my splatters by stamping the brightest of my pinks onto a block and adding water so I could drop so splatters with a brush. I thought it looked a little like he was shaking off some water after a dip!
