I worked on this card for two days. The background is done with Acrylic paint, and swirled around to create an oval shape. I used 3 colours, dark blue, light blue, and white. We're having some horrible rainy days with high humidity, which is why the paint took so long to dry. To help dry the paint I did use my heat tool as well. It was just kind of a waiting game. Once the paint was totally dry, I stamped (Versafine Clair Nocturne ink) the Robins, and foliage. The snowflakes were stamped in white and I used white embossing powder on them, and have used red and white Posca pens to colour the Robins and the foliage. I needed each image to be dry before colouring the next image. Yes, it took lot's of time to create this, and I love how it has turned out! It was definitely worth the time it took! The card measures 6 by 4 1/4 inches. I love how this turned out, and will be creating some more cards like it! I used all Lavinia products. This is the first time I have created a card using an Acrylic paint background. It was so much fun seeing it all slowly come together. The jury is out on whether or not I add a touch of sparkle using some glitter. I don't want to over cook it, as it already has a lot going on. Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
Welcome to my blog! My name is Sunshine! I live with a rare & invisible medical condition that often puts me in hospital without warning. I am also partially sighted with limited vision. When I am well I like to make cards! I also love photography. I have 2 gorjuss Purr-ritos called "Bella-Rosa", & "Romeo-Valentino". They often end up in my photo's! My simply awesome Soulmate (who remains nameless) said I should create a blog...and here it is! Enjoy!
Wow! Gorgeous card, Sunshine! I love how you did the background, and the colors are great. Congrats on being patient enough to finish this card - it was definitely worth the time! -Andrea
