I've used a few manufacturers on todays card and although I was not aiming for a New York Times vibe, it sorted of evolved into a headline all on its own - see what you think...
So I've used a stencil from Altenew, the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and the caped cutie is from Clearly Besotted.
I started by stencilling the city scene in DOX hickory smoke with very little ink for the background to create the illusion of distance. Moved the stencil and used the same ink, applied it heavier and darker for the middle ground. I went with black for the foreground and added some highlights keeping it stronger on the foreground and limiting the highlights in the background.
To finish the card I stamped the puppy onto the 'Happy' in a Superman-esque pose and coloured him pretty much the same as Superman. To be truthful I'm quite the DC geek and I didn't realise how this was turning out until I stepped away and laughed at my inner consciousness taking over... hey ho, life can be amusing :)
