Friends

Good Morning

I hope all is well in your part of the world.

Happy Valentine's Day....great day to show our family and friend how much we love them.

Where I live, we are still in lockdown and I am missing my friends so much!

I still had my Vicki Boutin Art Crayons out from the other day, so I decided to use them again to create this background.  I love how this turned out.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a card panel cut from some heavy white cardstock.  I rubbed some of the yellow Art Crayon onto a piece of acetate, sprayed with a generous amount of water and blended with a paint brush.  When it was all mixed and diluted, I pressed onto my card front and dried.
• I used some greens and blues to add the additional colours.  **Vicki's crayons come in 3 different sets; Neutrals (brown, grey), Warm (reds, orange, yellow) and Cool (blues, greens).  The great thing about these crayons is that you can mix them to create your own custom colours.**
• I added some more Art Crayon to my acetate sheet, diluted that and used it as a stamp pad to add the background letters using the Faded Text stamp.
• I dried the panel completely, then placed it into my Misti and stamped the flowers from STAMPlorations with some Versafine Clair ink.
• I stamped the sentiment from Impression Obsession to the one side.
• Using my black Posca pen, I splattered with black, then mounted onto a piece of coordinating cardstock and then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
