Hello friends. I hope the weekend has started off well for you.
I've been busy in the studio this week.
Frost White Paint that my dear friend Loll sent me.
I went over the leaves with some watercolor paint.
The background was watercolored with some Vintage Photo Distress ink
smooshed on my palette and picked up with a waterbrush.
I used the wet on wet technique on Mixed Media Paper.
When dry, I randomly stamped the script and postmark with some
Vintage Photo ink that had been stamped off. (2nd generation stamping.)
I painted some more Vintage photo on a scrap of mixed media paper and
die cut with the love die.
The piece is mounted on foam and the card base is Acrylic Paper.
I love the texture and color of acrylic paper.
The Flower Challenge#5 is to CASE (Copy and Share Everything)
a card by the Guest Designer Therese. Here is her card...
I used the same die and watercolor as my CASE elements.
A big thank you to The Flower Challenge for choosing this card
as a Top Pick last month!
FANTASTIC FLORALS
