I don't usually post on Saturdays, but I'm so happy about feeling myself again ... wait. Feeling 99.827% again - that is my normal 100% and let me tell you I'll take it these days!!!
I happened to do a little shopping last week - couldn't wait to get my brushes dipped to color this beauty: Waffle Flower's Crocus - did you know the crocus symbolizes hope and joy? What better way to express how I'm feeling today!
The Waffle Flower design team had their gorgeous way with this set during the release in February ... this phenomenal card, from Arjita blew me away:
Hope you don't mind, Arjita ... I just had to give it a go! In my personal favorite purples! Here is my process: stamped onto Canson XL 140# cold press water color card, in Antique Linen Distress ink...
I love to press my Distress inks onto a plastic palette .. quick to clean up, or allow to dry for use another day - or for splatters as was the case today.
After drying, a few more splats of watered down gesso from an acrylic block...
Then, after partially die cutting my pot of crocus, on it goes to a rather dramatic card base, tweaked a bit with one of Waffle Flowers' Nesting Postage dies, cut diagonally to lift two corners of my panel, and a sweet Hello from the same set.
I don't think I've ever been more pleased with an attempt at no-line water coloring!
Thank you Arjita @bcreative_arji !! for the gorgeous inspiration!
Okay. Time to hit the shower, and go for a little walk in the sunshine with my best guy... have a wonderful weekend, my friends - and thank you SO much for all the well wishes this week!!
