On another of our outings, we visited Rousillon in the Vaucluse, and walked along the trail through an old ochre quarry. I used some Christmas gift money to buy some beautiful pigments. Since it was impossible to choose between the great range of earth tones and the wonderful bright vivid colours, I ended up treating myself to one of the larger sets.
And these are what I used to colour my Art Neko offering for this week:
I stamped the Shoson Five Snowy Egrets with wee calligraphy on watercolour paper, added a little colour to the beaks with pencils and then watercoloured the background.
I recently came across this spatter mesh from way back, and thought it would pick up perfectly on the snowy scene - so I simply added it to a black base, edged the base with a silver pen and edged the mesh with Liquid Pearls. To finish I added a button and silver cording.

Your card is stunningly beautiful. I love the subject matter and you've colored it wonderfully. So glad you treated yourself - great purchase. And that screen - wow! What makes it complete is your silver framing with the hashes. What a brilliant idea.
What a beautiful card! . . . and all those wonderful colors. It is good to treat yourself once in awhile!
Beautiful card, Sabina and great coloring. Great background to this image.
