I stamped the chick in Basic Gray on Stampin' Up!'s quality Watercolor Paper. TIP: Basic Gray is waterproof and the perfect "canvas" for watercoloring. Using a Blender Pen, I added More Mustard to the deeper shaded areas of the chick and softened the color with So Saffron. I used a Blender Pen to add Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and So Saffron to the tower of eggs.
TIP: Using a very light hand, I shaded the outline of the chick and eggs using a Blender Pen and Going Gray. Keep in mind that the left side should be deeper in color if your imaginary light source is coming from the right.
This delightful sketch is from I{heart}2stamp. The swirling texture on the horizontal panel was created with Stampin' Up!'s Backgrounds I Texturz Plates. TIP: I prefer to mist the card stock with water to deepen the impression when it zips through the Big Shot. Keep it flat for a few minutes while it dries (otherwise the card stock can curl).
