Today I’m sharing the cards we will make in this months class. All these images are from the stamp set When You Smile by Unity Stamps. The first card we are working on is dragonflies. I colored in the dragonflies first and then heat set them to make sure they were dry and the color wouldn't move.
The next step is to brush water on the background to lay down some yellow and have it really flow and fill in the background. I wanted it to be subtle so I made sure the color was watered down. I then splattered ripe persimmon and shaded lilac. Since we did the splatters while the background was still wet the color was able to spread slightly.
The second card is a fun image by Unity Stamps. I love the sneakers with the Roses. I started with shoes so they would be done and I could dry them so the roses wouldn't bleed into them. I next colored the roses and then the leaves. The last thing I wanted to do was the ground under the image. I did the background is Pumice stone and then added some faded jeans and spun sugar.
I colored in the ground with bundled sage first and then flicked in mowed lawn to mimic blades of grass. I hope you enjoy these and can join us in class on Tuesday March 13th.
