It's challenge time at Tando Creative and our theme this month is "Green and Yellow".
I've made a simple canvas this month. I used watercolour crayons in shades of green and yellow to scribble directly onto the canvas and blended with gesso.
I sponged ink over the Random Circles mask and then stamped the leaves. I used green and yellow acrylic paint to paint over the stamping and left all but one of them as basic shapes. On the last one, I added some veining with dark brown paint and also scratched through the layers of paint with a pin and finally added a drop shadow with the brown paint.
The chipboard domino is triple embossed with a word stamp pressed in and then picked out with some more acrylic paint.

Love all the shades of green and the use of the mask - gorgeous project x
Love that shade of yellow - not too garish but enough to highlight the greens. It look almost like buttermilk :) Love the whole piece :)
Great shades of green and yellow. The leaf with the shadow effect looks 3D. Very calming canvas.
