Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!
Greetings! You've got Kathi here to share a belated birthday card created with the new Pokey Pidgeon stamp for the September Animal Challenge!
Here it is!
I googled "pigeons" and decided to make Pokey Pidgeon into a Rock Pigeon whose plumage is black, grey, purple, and teal/green. They really are rather handsome birds.
Anyway, Pokey Pidgeon was stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. I enlarged the Pokey's pupils just a bit, then added white gel pen highlights to them.
I found patterned paper that worked really well with the his plumage, but used Copics to change the color of the yellowish veining in the paper to yellow/orangish veining to match Pokey's eyes.
I love Pokey's expression. He either looks surprised or guilty. I decided he was guilty of being a birdbrain and forgetting a birthday. He's kind of like me in that way. I didn't have sentiments that worked, so I used my label maker to make my own, then airbrushed the white with Copic markers.
You still have time to play with us, create something for the September Animal Challenge, share it with us, and be entered for the chance to win some Lost Coast Designs Cash!
