Bijou Geese Mini Make

 The mid month mini make challenge over on Clarity Crafts Mini Makes & ATCs is to create a piece no more than 5" x 5" featuring Feathered Friends and using scraps of paper.  It should also include a touch of blue, as that is the colour theme for this month.  This is what I came up with.

Stamp the pair of geese from the Bijou Feathered Friends stamp set onto a scrap of Indian Summer designer card in Jet Black Archival ink.

Fussy cut the bodies.

Stamp the geese for a second time, onto a small piece of Clarity stencil card, in the same ink.

Add the fussy cut bodies.

Colour the rest of the image with Faber-Castell Polychromos (#183, #271, #272, #270, #156, #274).

Add the smallest moon mask.

Having masked up the geese, add one of the masks from the Hills and Clouds (Build a Scene set) and brush Stormy Sky Distress ink above it.  Move the mask down and continue adding ink.  Remove all masking.

Mask around the moon and add yellow ink off a stencil brush.  Remove the masking.

Tear a couple of strips of scrap designer and companion paper, add them to the bottom of the topper and trim the excess.

Die cut a mat from black card using the 3.75" x 3.75" nested square picot die and mat up the topper.

Add the topper to the front of a 5" x 5" white card blank.

To finish, add one of the Pinky Gray Greetings stickers.
