Hi Everyone
Very late posting today as it has been one very busy day and evening .. .. but I was determined to still have a quick play.
Whenever I am having a play session or trying a new technique nine times out of ten it will end up as a teeny tiny card .. .. which for anyone new to my blog measures a whole 3.5 inches square.
This is what I ended up with:
This used:
Image Stampendous! Cling Stamp "CRP119" Dragonfly Vine
Sentiment: Digistamp Boutique Clear Stamp Set (sadly no longer trading)
Brushos
LuminArte Twinkling H2Os "Iridescent Blue"
Crystal Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine
I decided to have a little session with my Brushos tonight and instead of just adding the colour and misting with water I wet my card first, added the Brushos, misted with more water until they puddled a little and then swiped the colour across the card using a tissue. I was quite pleased with the result and decided to carry on and turn it into a card by stamping onto it once dried with a heat gun.
What I am not so pleased with are my actual photographs. The wings of my dragonfly are not how they look in real life .. .. .. they actually have a lovely pearlised blue sheen from the H2O's which twinkles with the Glamour Dust I have added.
So that is me for today .. .. playtime over!
Beautiful background colours and a fabulous stamped image,love the depth of colour and the sheen a wonderful card
ReplyDeleteA super little card and I can imagine the twinkle effect which sadly often doesn't show up in photos despite being wonderful when viewed for real. Have a good weekend although I fear we are in for a wet and windy time - all the more reason to stay in and play!!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Jules,love the image over the top of that gorgeous Brusho background.
