Black birds

This is for the Smudgy Antics weekly challenge Black Birds.  I received an order in the mail with new Lumiere paints so I had to try them.  I started by stamping the background with Stampendous trees and then adhered white tissue paper on top.  Once dry I painted with Lumiere Hi Lite Blue because I was intrigued by the holographic effect it gives everything.  I highlighted all with my finger with green paint and purple around the edges.  The fence is a die cut by Cheery Lynn Designs, Ornamental Gate, painted.  The crow is a Tim Holtz die cut.  The moon is circle die cut and edged with Distress Ink by Ranger.  Fibers on gate are adhered with gel medium.  The final touch was the tree branch stencil by The Crafters Workshop.  I mixed black gesso and fiber gel medium (Golden) to get the paste.  Other stamps by Inkadindado and the birds in the distance are just dots I was brave enough to draw freehand (gasp!).

This angle to sow dimension - which is mostly the branches.  The tissue paper texture is difficult to pick up on camera. Now I think I should have added silver to the fibers as they blend too well with the background.
