So I went to work at Arts & Crafts yesterday and for the last hour I was there, my coworker was sketching and I was cross stitching, so we were both artsing and craftsing. Ha!
Bit late with my post today but that's because I just finished making this:
I absolutely love the Enjoy the Journey DSP pack, and when it was made a freebie option for Sale-a-Bration, I got several packs (don't talk to me about my paper hoard). After seeing Helen Read's post about the silhouette technique, I really wanted to give it a try with the flowers from Greatest Journey. After creating my blended background, I stamped the line-art image with Starry Sky ink and then used a Starry Sky marker to fill in the image and turn it into a silhouette. Check out the silhouetted tree on this week's Inspired By Nature challenge:
That picture is what made me think to do an ink blended background for my silhouetted flowers. I also used the sketch:
As for the colors, I chose the middle three from Sunday Stamps:
I used Melon Mambo, Polished Pink, and Starry Sky. I think Polished Pink might be my favorite SU! pink to date, which is funny because when it was released I thought we didn't need another shade of pink. And now it's my favorite : )
Have a good weekend, y'all. Tomorrow we're attending a birthday party for Ryan's fiancee. They're both six. Ha!!
