One Layer Wednesday: Clouds
The new theme at One Layer Wednesday is Clouds. I decided to make my own clouds using the fantastic pointillism technique that Kim Costello shows us in this month's Craft Stamper Magazine. Have you seen it? it's gorgeous. I don't own copics so I used Whispers markers and I'm quite pleased with the outcome.
What goes with clouds? why, hot air balloons of course. I know that it won't be an original idea, I'm sure loads of people will use them for this challenge. This is the one that came free with Craft Stamper magazine a short while ago, that I did some of the samples for. It's a useful stamp for your collection.
I think this card might be handy for a graduate, or someone being promoted

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love pointillism and you've done a fantastic job with it. I should try to remember to incorporate more of the technique in my own stamping.
ReplyDeleteA cloud, a balloon, blue sky - how can you go wrong?

Lovely, creative card. Great new technique for me to try.My balloon stamp is still stuck to the Craft Stamper mag that it came with. I will look it out now.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant!! Love the dotty technique - looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis was the stamp I had considered, but I opted for a butterfly instead.
