Hello and Welcome
Time for a new theme at the
This month, I have the pleasure of hosting so our theme will be Monochromatic.
This month we welcome our guest
As most of you know, I love creating monochromatic and silhouette cards so this was an easy one to create.
I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and placed it into my Misti. Next, I positioned the flower near the bottom portion of my paper. I coloured the flower with various shades of blue Tombow markers, sprayed with water and pressed onto my paper. I repeated that process until I was happy with the inking.
When the piece was dry, I took some diluted DOX ink and added a wash of colour around the flower with a paintbrush. There was a bit of ink left on my mat so I used it to splatter as well, adding to the interest.
When the whole piece was dry, I stamped the sentiment from the PB set called Joy and Merriment then added the blue dot to the flower center. I simply mounted the piece onto a white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
