Look at me! Today I'm totally out of my comfort zone and attempting a background à la Sandy Allnock.
Usually my colouring is confined to cats and dogs, and other critters (and the odd flower) but today I was inspired to give my stamped image a wintry background.
To begin with I stamped my bunny image and drew a hillside behind him with a black fineliner. Then I masked the bunny and hills, and inked up my sky with distress ink. I splattered the sky with water drops, which made my fineliner run a bit in places!! I used a very simple stamp for the trees, and overlapped it a little. After colouring my image with copics I went to work with a white gel pen. I think I went a bit crazy with it on the trees, but I kind of like the effect - and I'm pretty pleased with myself that I remembered to make sure some snow was falling on my bunny and bird :-)
Overall I'm really happy with how this turned out. But check out Sandy Allnock's blog to see the master at work.
