Hello there,
well once again I'm just scraping in with this weeks Merry Monday challenge! Another great sketch.
And with no more ado - here is what I came up with.
I played around with ink and DSP - always a lot of fun :) The brayered background was inspired by meeting up a lovely friend Paula Dobson at SU!s South Pacific Convention last week. She did a awesome presentation on the bouncing brayer technique. I didn't try and bounce it here but I love how you can get a transition of colour by brayering! I also pulled out all my small Christmas tree dies and blue DSP patterns and mixed and matched till I got the effect I wanted. To finish it off I added sparkle - of course - sparkly snowflakes and trees are a must ;)
Thanks for visiting,
Kim

ReplyDeleteYou have created a beautiful scene, Kim! I've never done anything with a brayer. I need to take the time and give it a try. I love the look! Thanks for sharing this beautiful card with us at Merry Monday!
