The challenge this week on Sunday Postcard Art is Crows, which is part of the 4 weeks of Halloween. I know that the crows should probably be in a Halloween context but I'm taking a tangent.
Welcome to my crazy crow.

I sprayed the postcard with Bubble Gum pink and sunshine yellow Dylusions sprays before stamping a small script stamp in Archival Orange and a cross hatch stamp in Archival Magenta. Across the bottom I stamped a small checker pattern in Memento London Fog. This is an amazing shade of ink because it always looks to be layers below everything else, even if it's not.
Next came some white gesso through a stencil and the pink dye has fed through and given it a pearly sheen. I used black gesso through a stencil at the bottom and then painted the black squares with interference red, the interference gold on the white gesso.
Mr crow was found on a search on the internet and the crown I cut from a scrap of paper. To give it some texture I applied perfect pearls to the crown and the white circles
