Colored in the Bird using a Summer Starfruit marker. Also, added a few water lines beneath the grasses.
Added highlights to the leaves, grasses and the top of the bird with a White Gel Pen. I smudged the highlight on the top of the bird with my finger while it was wet to tone it down a bit.
Sponged Island Indigo ink at the base of the grasses.
Sponged Primrose Petal ink on the edges of the card stock.
Added a 5.5″ Primrose Petal layer, 5.25″ Whisper White Layer, 5″ DSP layer and a 4 1/8″ Primrose Petal layer under the main image panel.
Put a strip of the Delicate Details Lace Tape on the left side of the DSP.
Adhered the smallest Primrose Petal layer to the main image panel and added a bit of Whisper White Ribbon folded over and an Antique Brad.
Put the card front together and adhered it to a Whisper White card base.
Here is the finished card measuring 5.5″ square.
