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

ReplyDeleteYour cloud turned out super cute! LOVE the hot air balloon...I almost used one, but decided at the last minute to use a kite. My Card
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.

ReplyDeleteThis was the stamp I had considered, but I opted for a butterfly instead.
