I made the background of my postcard sometime last year using Gelatos and a PaperArtsy stencil. I used a baby wipe on the stencil to take away some of the Gelatos.
I put some orange Magic Colour Liquid Acrylic at the top of the card and sprayed with water so that it ran down the card, when this was dry I turned the card upside down and did the same with green Magic Colour. I used a pen to outline the leaves. I stamped the PaperArtsy tulip onto card and coloured it with pencils and felt tips, I cut it out and went round the edges with black ink and glued it to the postcard, then I stamped the word tulip.
Have a good day

2 great cards Hazel! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteTulips are one of my favourite flowers! A very beautiful and creative postcard.
ReplyDeleteLove that soft blended effect in the background - I don't know about Magic Colour Acrylics (and I'm not going to go and look and get tempted!), but they look great - and the vivid flower over the top really glows.

A beautiful tulip and surrounding garden setting! How interesting to read how you accomplished this piece. I'd never heard of Magic Colour before either.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous and creative. Agree with what butterfly said. That technique looks fun and tempting!
