I’m combining a few challenges today — this week’s mixed media challenge at Splitcoast (here) is an intriguing technique that produces a sort of wonky grid by pushing a coin with a pencil. It made me think of the slightly off-square pastries in the current photo inspiration challenge at Time Out and I made it a trio by using a “thank you” sentiment to fit another Splitcoast challenge.
The sunflower and leaf sprays were in my bits box, the background piece had the grid filled in with watercolour and Copic markers, the pencil lines were traced over with a fineliner and the cross over points have little copper gel pen details.

That's a very effective technique for the background Joanne. It makes for a lovely card with lots of happy pops of colour. :)

ReplyDeleteLove your colorful background for the pretty sunflower, Joanne!!
ReplyDeleteI love that background! I also love that you added white leaves for your sunflower. They are a perfect place for the eye to rest. Fabulous colors, too. So glad you shared this with us at Time Out this week
