I've been channelling my inner Heather Telford after watching this video tutorial. Heather's cards are stunning and it was great to watch the step-by-step process. So here's my attempt. I applied a wash of Canteloupe and New Sprout, then before it dried, stamped the flowers in Elderberry which spread into the wash. When it was almost dry I re-stamped the flowers in Elderberry and Olive Grove. It spread slightly in the damper parts and stayed crisp on the drier parts.
I'm entering this into Runway Inspired Challenge:
Really? Well, yes. The purple, the flowers, the linework of the flowers, the pale gold, the hint of blue, and the black diagonal line of the gloves. (Is it just me or do those gloves make her hands look like hooves?)
Absolutely gorgeous Shirley! it turned out perfectly and I have that stamp too… I might just have a go myself!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! It looks like it should be framed art. I'm off to check out that tutorial, thanks for linking to it.
