The effect I was trying to create on this card was of a misty winter’s day but I don’t think I achieved it, I should perhaps have used grey instead of blue. I stamped the stag using timber brown Stazon ink the masked it with masking fluid so I could then wash blue water colour over it. The rushes are stamped off onto scrap paper first to give a more gentle colour and stamped again using platinum ink to give a slightly frosty appearance (you can’t see it in the photo). The stag is coloured using an aqua brush. I then smudged some white chalk over the whole image and stippled on some platinum.Inks: Stazon Timber brown, Brilliance Platinum planet and pearlescent beige
