This week's Make it Monday technique over at Papertrey Ink involves ink blending and then using a stencil over the ink blended background. Betsy does a splendid job showing us exactly how to do ink blended backgrounds without harsh lines. Check out the wonderful video
here.
I didn't feel like choosing a color palette so I used the gorgeous colors in the latest
Colour Q challenge.
I absolutely love these colors! In fact my favorite color is turquoise. So I couldn't wait to work with this beautiful color scheme!
I sponged on my backgound colors from light on the bottom to dark on top. I then laid a stencil over my background and sponged again the same colors over top the stecil being sure to over lap so the colors can blend. I fussy cut the flower but had a die for the leaves. I very rarely use a color other than green for leaves but I like this grey color for foliage in this card. I added darker highlights to the inner flower petals using a grey (C5) Copic marker. I also shaded in between the petals to give more depth using grey (C3) Copic marker. The flower was popped off the card with foam. The sentiment was heat embossed and a few blue sequins finishes the card.
