I started by using sprays I made from Liquid Watercolour Concentrate (yellow, orange, magenta). I sprayed onto a dotty stencil, flipped it over and pressed the wet ink into a piece of mixed media paper (stencil monoprint). I blotted with paper towel to remove any excess ink, which keeps the stencil image white.
I thought this created a very summery card, so added a die-cut bicycle and simple sentiment to finish.

Oh boy, this will be a challenge as I've never used sprays. Of course, I have them, so I have to go watch the videos. This is beautiful with the soft summer colors and fun bike. Jessie looks so pleased to be just hanging out.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sunny card and love the mono print technique. Sure is sunshine on a card x Jessie is adorable and clearly enjoying the sunshine x
ReplyDeleteThe cycle goes beautifully with the dotty stencil Loll, and the pastel shades together with the sentiment certainly say Summertime. Jessie seems to be enjoying the Summer sun too. x

ReplyDeleteGorgeous summery card Loll, love those colours. Jessie looks adorable... noticed the chook wire on the railings, is that to keep her in? Cathy x
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and joyful card, Loll! A great selection of colors, and a white bike is ideally an element. Very visible, but not intrusive. Great design.
ReplyDeleteJessie is beautiful!

Such a sweet and summery card, Loll, and your new family member is simply adorable. I was telling my husband the other day that it's hard to believe that our Bernie is almost 6 by now. It seems only yesterday that we found him dumped into our garden when he was no more than 4 weeks old or so. I never wanted a dog (I'm more of a cat person) but now I cannot imagine not having him around.
