Favorite technique

My favorite technique - thank you ArtyGirlz for a great challenge - has to be paint. I love doing painted backgrounds, and frequently, if the paint is thick, I will stamp into it, thus pulling out the paint and revealing the original background. Being thrifty, the background usually comes from a cereal box, a rice package or the likes. This means an added dash of surprise color coming through, instead of white cardstock.

The swirl stamp in the upper left corner reveals beautiful colors underneath, and the texture seems just luscious. Hey, a bit of glitter and pearlescent paint is always in order...

TMTA: Seeing red

I am seeing red, and it is the dress of this little girl, the bow of the kitty and a few dashes of the background. The flash made the text jump, the letters are glittery red, too.



I enjoyed this challenge by TMTA. I liked the fact that you can treat the subject very broadly.
