Favourite colours and stamps

 

Hi There! What do you do when your mojo is on holiday? I get out my favourite colours and favourite stamps and just have a play. This card was the result of just such a play. 

I began by painting a piece of watercolour paper with laidback lilac, blue lagoon and fresh lime dylusions paint using a wet brush and blending the edges together

Once this was dry, I painted white gesso through the Circles Big one inkable using a stencil brush. This too was left to dry.

I used the Mandala stamps to add to the background, stamping in Versafine Clair Summer Breeze and embossing with clear embossing powder. 

I matted and layered this onto a White A5 card. 

On a piece of mixed media card I stamped the sunflower, using versafine Clair, and coloured it with Ecoline markers before cutting out.

I attached this to the background using ultra thick gel medium. 

on a scrap of card I stamped the sentiment from mixed messages 1 and sponged a little ink around the edge, shaping the ends of the strip. 

Here is the finished card again. 

I used:

Dylusions paint in Laidback Lilac, Blue Lagoon and Fresh Lime

I really enjoyed making this card and it certainly helped to find my mojo again.
