I always love seeing and learning about your wonderful techniques. Case in point, this gorgeous poinsettia cut from acrylic painted paper. The colors are beautiful and have a sparkle all their own - at least in my mind's eye. I know you won't be able to resist joining us now and then and I can't wait to see what you create.

I love the colours of your acrylic paint poinsettia. And your background is a perfect match. I think speckled egg is going to be the new favourite colour for a lot of crafters. Will be sorry to see you leave The Flower Challenge but understand how Covid has affected our lives and simplifying things is the best. I have done the same. Take care, sweet friend, as you open your home up to the little ones.

And call me crazy, but I want to remember you as well from the old Technique Junkie Newsletter AND Artistic Outpost days, maybe I am hallucinating, lol. I know you will be missed at TFC, your samples have all been so inspiring. You are going to have your kiddos at Day Care again and with all of the special needs that entails, very wise to claim back time, only so much of it every day. I am hoping against hope that you will still create and blog. I will keep you all in my prayers for a safe and successful fall!

A great technique for the background too with the white gesso and the Speckled Egg DI using the inked and spritzed acrylic to add the colour. It is sad you have decided to leave the Flower Challenge DT and you will be missed by them also by us as your creations are always so inspiring, but understand you need to simplify things, but hope you won't become a stranger here in Blogland as I for one will still be looking forward to seeing your wonderful cards in the future. x Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889103826921393113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167063614029993969.post-27889085355425298382020-08-04T12:56:52.780-04:002020-08-04T12:56:52.780-04:00Well, you can butter my bread, and speckle my eggs...Well, you can butter my bread, and speckle my eggs anytime you want, Karen... and I know where you 'live' so don't think for a minute I won't be stopping by!<br />You always inspire, intrigue, and surprise me with all these wonderful techniques you do [and I don't!].
