The theme on 3 Muses today is "blackbirds", so I took the opportunity to make another page for the book I've (slowly) been working on! I'm not quite sure what his beef is, but he's clearly not impressed! LOLThe rulers were stamped first, then masked off while the bubble wrap was stamped at the left and right edges. Everything was then masked again and the suit and tie was stamped, then also masked while bubble wrap was stamped in the background then "knocked back" with white acrylic paint. Finally the head and crown were stamped, cut out and applied, then the row of smaller ravens was stamped.
A combination of promarkers and distress inks were used for colouring, and the text was computer printed. As ever, click on the image for a larger view :)
