Imagine Sunflowers!

A few weeks ago, I was a guest blogger at Club Scrap. I decided at the last minute to film a quick video to go with my post.  I spent the last four years shooting and videoing high school football and baseball games. I will miss doing it and wanted to test out my skills filming my art journal process. I enjoyed it so much, I had to do it again! I have wanted to try this stencil technique for awhile, and I decided to make a video testing it out totally unrehearsed...

Gosh I love how this card turned out! It reminds me of a vintage seed packet. Grunge and distress is not my usual style, but taking a new path is an adventure!

“Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” ~ Walt Disney

    This is fantastic inking and I actually thought the flower was cut from paper and applied to the panel. Never would have guessed it was texture paste, well done!!

    I know what you mean. Sometimes I might need a 20 minute tutorial, and sometimes I just need to get the gist of it and I am done and happy!

    The colors and textures look fantastic! I watched the video. Great idea using q tips for sponging, for now I've used brushes, but it looks easier to get more color on with your technique.

    I've discovered that gelatos blend like oil pastels on top of gel medium. Using the q tip was out of necessity, but I think they work better than blending sponges.
