Great Blue Heron - Repeat Impressions SOTW

It's Monday so that means there is a new Stamp of the Week at Repeat Impressions.  This week's SOTW is the Great Blue Heron image - isn't it gorgeous!?!  The bullrushes and heron are one image.  To find out how to get 50% off of this image this week go to the RI blog, The House That Stamps Built and get the code. While you are there, check out what the other RI Rockstars created with this awesome stamp!
I stamped the image with Versafine Onyx Black and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I colored the image in with colored pencils then brayered the background - the top with orange and rust ink, the bottom with blue ink.  I then sponged between those colors and on the bottom with green.  I used a white gel pen for highlighting.
Thanks for coming by!
