Hello and welcome
I hope you are all staying safe and well and managing to do some crafting.
As I was looking through some papers where I had played with some different inks and watercolour techniques.
I found this one that was quite bright, so I thought it was perfect for the bokeh effects. I had a stencil I had made previously and used Hero Arts White ink to add the circles. By the next morning, much of the ink had sunk into the watercolour paper, so I added some more circle using just the end of the ink dauber.
I decided to use it to join the Newton’s Nook challenge and downloaded a freebie, which I coloured with Prismacolor pencils.
After layering 2 pieces of vellum over a piece of white card, I added it to the centre to make the background for this cute little bird!
I added layers of Wink of Stella over the balloon.
The heat embossed sentiment is from Altnew – Label Love set.
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments.
Stay safe in these difficult times and have a good day
Cheers
Helen
