Celebrating Spring .....

Hello Friends

A Mixed Media work celebrating Spring...........

Celebrating Spring Mixed Media

I don't have any WIP pictures for this, started with a background with watercolors on thick Grunge like watercolor paper.

Celebrating Spring Mixed Media

Used a stencil and texture paste to create the tulips and greenery...........

random stamping in the background using archival inks in Black and coffee and Bo Bunny, rubber texture stamps & Hero Arts stamps. No need to mask the stencilled areas as these are going to be covered with acrylic colors.

Celebrating Spring Mixed Media

layers of acrylic colors in different shades and colors thru the stencil.............stamping with white acrylic and a three dot small stamp and bottle lid circles..........the butterflies have a touch of color and glitter......

Celebrating Spring Mixed Media

The sentiment is computer generated......and the tiny flowers are made with home made air dry cold porcelain clay and colored with acrylics ............added some black ink splatters to finish off...

I am loving the lovely colors and textures here, hope you like this too !!

Watercolor love

Hi Friends

Spring is here and so to celebrate is this card using watercolors.....

no stamps, no heat embossing, not even any pencil markings, just straight brush to the paper old fashioned technique ........

I have used Camlin artist quality watercolors and watercolor paper and of course water to create this card. This is the first time I am liking my trials with the watercolors. The only mantra with watercolor seems to be the least amount of pigment you have on your brush, the better it is !!

liking this spring scene with some basic supplies. The sentiment is stamped with coffee Archival ink on Vellum and a bit of paper twine in orange is added . Matted on to yellow corrugated sheet and orange cardstock. Hope you like it
