This month's calendar challenge on the Craft Barn blog asks for the colour lavender and dragonflies. I started with some floral embossed handmade paper which I had kept from a present I was given. I lightly spritzed some cobalt blue ink over a dragonfly mask. The effect was very subtle so I replaced the mask and brushed some shaded lilac and milled lavender DIs all over. I cut a dragonfly from Tim Holtz's fanciful flight die and used 2 sizes of punch for the other dragonflies. Because of the metallic silver card, it hasn't scanned very well so here's a close-up:
Lovely distinct design Rukhshana !
ReplyDeleteLovely page. I have that mask too, I really like the size of it. The wee dragonflies are fab in the silver :o))
ReplyDeleteYou can see the small ones perfectly when you click on picture to enlarge. It brings up the gorgeous background too. The splashes of cobalt blue works really well with the lavender.x
ReplyDeleteNice page, it ticks all the boxes. This very mask was also on my choice menu, but I decided the stamping was easier to control than the spraying...
