Hello friends. Playing along with the Inspired By challenge where it's all about YELLOW!
I love yellow and it always makes me think of Daffodils. I have some little peeks of green leaves poking up through the ground in my front yard, so hopefully I'll have some bright yellow Daffodils to enjoy soon!
For my background I tried a new (to me) technique called Bubble Painting that I learned about from Karen, one of my teammates at CAS Watercolour. I'm not sure mine really turned out the way it is supposed to look, but I still really like it! I used Daffodil Delight re-inker for this technique and taped off all four of my edges before putting the cardstock into the colored bubbles. Here's a closer up:
I stamped and masked the Daffodils from SSS's Friendship Blooms in black ink, and then added my sentiment on vellum so you could still see the stems and leaves underneath. A very simple card, but I really like how it turned out!
Only a couple days left to play with this challenge, but I think we could all use some sunshine in our lives right now, so this is a good one to play along with! You can check it all out right HERE to play along.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Love your happy yellow bubble background, my friend! So perfect for your daffodils! I hope you will be seeing signs of Spring soon.
ReplyDeleteOkay now I'm going to have to try that technique. It not only sounds like fun but makes a great background for your daffodils, Marcia.
ReplyDeleteI like how it turned out too Marcia, what a cool background! This is a fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely makes me think of daffodils and SPRING! LOve your first try with bubbles - I love your line-drawn blooms that let that yellow be the star of the show, Marcia! Thanks so much for playing at IB, and encouraging others to play, too! xx

What a deliciously bright and sunny background, Marcia (and it sounds like fun to do!) ... your line art daffodils are just lovely against it! Hugs, Anita :)
