Covered Bridge....by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

I made a card for my project today- enjoy

To start I stamped the covered bridge. Then I used a paper towel to mask the bridge where I stamped the winter woods scene on each side. 

I then used the distress spray stains and a paint brush to water color the card.

I used three different browns for the floor of the bridge. I used lost shadow DSS and Distress oxide spray-Hickory smoke together for the cement coming off the bridge. I like the effect.

I used DSS candy apple and cracklin campfire for the bridge cover.

I wanted more of a spring look So after I painted the sky and dried it,  I used the tip of the paintbrush to dot tiny green leaves all over the trees. the greens I used for the card are twisted citron and cracked pistachio. The sky was done with salvaged patina and shaded lilac. The water was done with stormy sky and salvaged patina.

And for the little cat, I used spiced marmalade. I love orange kitties! only he blended with the bridge floor too much. I tried to fix him but hes just too small.

last thing I did was take a thin brush and go over the tree trunks with scorched timber.

And I did stamp the cat twice and cut one out and popped it up on top with flat tape on his front toes so it doesn't look like he is floating...

I then layered it onto a black card and that's it!
