Deer at dawn

I think  my title is a little cheesy, but don’t you think this deer is gazing into the brightness of the new day!!  With the dark blues and the lack of flowers or hearts I think it is destined  to be another man card.  Speaking of man cards, check here to see an incredible one.

The background was done on watercolour paper using Not quite Navy and Night of Navy ink, I think.  I actually painted the background before Christmas to use for a snow scene, but it just sat on the watercolour pad and I never got around to using it.  I was looking at it the other day and decided to make it the sky for the deer under the tree.  I turned the watercolour sheet around several times before settling on this orientation with the light in one corner.  The images are stamped in versmark and embossed with Black e.p.  The colours are not true, I tried several times to get a better shot but the blues are all lighter than they are in reality.

Supplies:

Inks:  Versamark
