Hello everyone,
I'm so glad that finally a simple design popped into my head while watching Dexter on Neon of all programs..
My waterlilies and frogs came together,well, the swan did first but I have to show that second...AND, I'm so sorry if you get blurry pictures now and then, I was cleaning white ink off my camera and changed the settings and you have to be very very still using this setting, and I'm not and steady person..
First off after spraying my flowers and lily pads look at this paper..
Another yummy background...
The leaves, sprayed and smooshed, dried and smooshed again..
The waterlily flowers, layered up and sprayed and dipped and splattered..
The Dragonfly, coloured with markers then splattered..
Rather over splattered but I lost control..
Another lot of lily pad leaves and another background forming..maybe.
All dried and dipped...
And yes, another background..
So started putting this card together using another background I made last week..
I made about 6 backgrounds using all sorts of papers and even paper towels..
I cut two ovals after I had the background sized using the leftover bit..
added bull rushes and water lily's...
and my speckled frog..
Popped the gorgeous dragonfly up the top..
Then swapped the ovals around, it just didn't work..
The bottom lily's were too wide for up the top and I think this is okay..sort of.
Dimension, just a bit..still goes through the post as flat..
Gems, oh yes, the sparkle and blurry ness but still lovely..
A simple gold embossed sentiment...
And there we have it, all done and calm..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..
Luv CHRISSYxx
