Look for Wonder

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

 


The background was done with Pacific Point re-inker on acetate, spritzed with water 
and pressed down.  A little different technique for a loose watercolor look.

After stamping I went over some spots with a Quickie Glue Pen and dropped
some fine Sweet Poppy Glitter over it!

A little random stamping of printing adds a little extra dimension to the background.

Challenges:
CAS Mix Up - Loose Watercoloring
Krafty Chicks - Stamp Act (Must have stamping)

 



Card Recipe (Oversize Card 4 5/8 x 6 3/8")
Stamps:  Happy (Unity), Footnotes (PB)
Ink:   Pacific Point (SU), Versafine Onyx Black, Watering Can Archival (WV)
Paper:   Mixed Media, Black, Neenah
Other:  Quickie Glue Pen, Sweet Poppy Glitter, Score Board (SU)











Enjoy!

Good advice, my friend!

Love this, Bonnie! The large dragonfly only needed that wonderful loose inking to give it presence and the splatters and script gives it a wonderful mixed media look.

Such a beautiful sparkly dragonfly Bonnie and I love the watercolour background in that pretty blue with the very apt sentient, and a bit of soft script and splattering which goes brilliantly. x
