Another try at mixed media. This is a stamp I just got; I love the sketchiness of the drawing and its a bit quirky too. For those in other countries, chips = french fries, fries.
Is this really what gulls are thinking? Do they really have a choice about what they eat? Do they prefer pie or chips? Or is it wishful thinking?
I made the background using a round sponge blender with white chalk ink, splattering silver mister and black acrylic paint. I dipped the bottom in versamark and gold EP. The sentiment and bollard is torn from an encyclodedia (which I was given), painted lightly with white gesso, inked & stamped over. The gull is coloured with copics and cut out.
Inks, gesso, acrylic paint, silver mister, EP, printed page

This is a really fun MM design Carol! That gull gives me a chuckle! Chips for him I'm sure! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card Carol - pie and chips or fish and chips? Love this, and your mixed media background is stunning. Great use of the encyclopedia paper - I have an old Webster's dictionary given to me v=for the same purpose.
