Hello all, hope you are well
This is my first piece of work for a few days as don't know what to make lol. I made a lot of backgrounds after watching Amanda Branston of Lavinia Stamps giving a tutorial using acrylic paints and a roller. I got a little carried away doing just that. lol.
I gained inspiration from Amanda's project and used what I had to make something similar and I have to say I made mistakes along the way. To cover it up I ended up using posca pens dotted over alot of the flowers along with paints, and I mean lots and lots of dots, got a little carried away lol
I will be replicating this with hopefully no mistakes in at the start lol
Anyhow here is my effort which is going to my daughters house to hang wherever she wants it
Products used
10 x 8 inch black picture frame
8x6 white multifarious card with black mat
Yellow, lime green white and blue acrylic paint (using what I have instead of buying more lol) I do try
Lavinia stamps Forest flower, wild poppies, wild summer flowers and wild flower
Versafine Clair Twilight
Pearl Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints, red and pink
Sparkle posca pens red, yellow, green, blue, pink, aqua
