I decided to use the fun floral and greenery from the Cutting Edge picture with the colors from the Cure for the Monday Blues picture. Here is the result:
I started off by stamping the background with grey ink, mimicking the comforter of the Monday Blues picture. Then I used my Silhouette to cut out the floral shape out of black glittered cardstock. I ran the shape through my Xyron sticker maker so I could make sure when I watercolored the image, the colors wouldn't bleed through. Next, I used my watercolor pencils to color the image, then went over it all with a water brush. Backing it all with a black cardstock base just made the colors pop even more. I think it's so vibrant and pretty!
That is all for today! Thanks again for stopping by!
Until next time...
Wow! This is gorgeous! I love hearing how you did this. That sounds like a neat technique! Really beautiful work! So happy you joined us at The Cutting Edge Challenge!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I love this. I have a ton of glitter paper and I cut some arrows from it long time ago and then forgot. I will have to try this technique. Can you let me know if this is a silhouette file or from somewhere else. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes, this was a Silhouette file! It was Design ID #43666, or search for "Amy Robison blossom" if that doesn't work.
DeleteSuch a wonderful burst of colour, and so perfectly captures the light feel of the inspiration too! Love your flowers! Thanks so much for playing to find a Cure For The Monday Blues!
