A Walk With Nature

Time for another challenge with Addicted to Stamps!  This week we're back to 'make your mark' so anything goes with your marker pens, be they SU markers, Copics, ProMarkers, FlexMarkers........ grab 'em and show us what you can do with 'em!

I've made a little scene using the grass stem, the butterfly and the bird... come and have a look:

I coloured my stamps directly with my markers (Wild Wasabi and Riding Hood Red) and stamped a couple of times before reinking.  The butterfly was stamped in Basic Black, with colour added with my blender pen and just a hint directly from my markers.  The bird was also stamped in Basic Black with more black added using my aqua painter.  The slightly torn paper at the bottom is a scrap of Twitterpated, which qualifies my card for the 'torn paper' challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ, as well as for more fun in the Snippets Playground!  Hurrah!

I mounted this onto Riding Hood Red card to match, added a snippet of beautiful Victoria....... lace.... aw, you thought I was talking about myself!..... and an antique brad to finish.  The blackbird was cut out and mounted on dimensionals before being placed in the scene.

Now I don't want to seem one dimensional so I bring you a dog picture instead of my usual cat picture (just don't tell Socks or he'll get grumpy):
