I cut a piece of smooth watercolour card 11cms x 11cms, and stamped the image using Potting Shed Archival Ink. I coloured the image using watercolour pencils, and then added the sentiment, also using Archival Ink. I edged the panel with Fossilized Amber Distress Ink.
I cut a larger piece of kraft card, a little bit smaller than my card blank, and randomly stamped the two fern stamps over the background, using Olive and Library Green Archival Ink. I matted both panels onto dark brown card.
Unlike both of my previous cards, I have gone for a much simpler design, showing that you can make a very stylish design in a short space of time. The earthy colours make this card ideal for a masculine Birthday card.
Thanks for stopping by, xx

This is beautiful Judith and absolutely perfect for a man's card. Gorgeous little scene you created.
It's my brother's birthday today too so I had a 'male' style card to do as well.

This kingfisher looks amazing, wonderful colouring and classy masculine feel on your card!
Very effective & I particularly like the way your fern background gives the sense of feathers to the brain echoing the feathers of the kingfisher (or is it only my brain that does such things??). The soft colouring of the focal panel draws the eye immediately. The sentiment in brown works beautifully, it would have been too stark in black.
