PTI's April Blog Hop 2015

 

My card for April Blog Hop  

Using the colors for inspiration, I smooshed the background and die cut the vase and flowers in the same colors.  The stripe is direct to paper with the ink.  I think I finally got the hang of smooshing. YEAH!!!!

The Paper Players 

I know the paper looks like part of the polka dots are black, but they are actually all the same silver.

It must have been just the lighting.

My card using Dawn's Technique Painting over a stamped image.

I have re-done this so many times, too many to count.  Still not totally happy with it.  It was fine until I started adding the splatters and my own shading.  At least I tried.
