This card was inspired by 2 very talented friends.
Barb's Guest Designer card really wowed me! Still does!
I keep going back and looking at it.
And Loll's Brusho technique intrigued me and I was itching to try it.
I had a new stencil and a plan came together.
This stencil is 6" x 6" so I cut the finished design in half.
The first half found it's way on a card for
CAS Mix Up
Using stamping, die cuts, stenciling, and watercolor with Brushos
and
I sprayed the Brushos with water. I think that's watercolouring.
Here's what I did with the other half.
The frame is tinted glass and something I had on hand.
The sentiment is from a NBUS set that I've had for a long time.
I always thought of sunflowers when I saw that quote.
It was an artsy kind of day.
Fun!
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
