This is the first Make It Monday for 2017 and the challenge is to choose from one of the 34 videos posted last year. What a hard choice to make! As I mentioned, I need some more masculine sympathy cards and decided to select Make It Monday: #256 Spritzed Stamps, hosted by Melissa Phillips. I even used the same stamp set she did.
On watercolor paper, I inked up the feathers with Ocean Tides and a little big of Aqua Mist around the edges. I spritzed the stamp with water and stamped the images. The center is done the same way using Smokey Shadow ink.
The sentiment is stamped in Smokey Shadow ink - I used the Misti for it since I know sometimes when I stamp on watercolor paper I don't get a dark enough image. I stamped this 4 times to get a nice even look.
I placed the panel on an Ocean Tides cardstock card base with a little bit showing at the bottom.
