I wasn't able to do a video of me creating this card, but I did take some photos along the way.....
A friend gave me a ton of Creative Memories alphabet stickers, so I decided to put some of them to good use....
Painted on a couple of light layers of gesso....
Added some self-adhesive drywall tape (because it just so happened to be sitting there on my counter from working on a previous card)
Pulled out some paints to use and my spray bottle of water.....
Rubbed them around on the card and sprayed with some water.....
Patted all of that extra painty-goodness onto a blank page in my art journal (waste not what not! lol)
Color wash and an alphabet stencil along the edge (the calander page is there to protect the other half of the card from random spray)
I had pulled out this orange acrylic paint and it had been sitting there the whole time unused....time to use it....
Stamped Suzi Blu's Pretty Girl stamp onto a blank card....
Colored her in with Prisma colored pencils and Inktense pencils.....
Adhered her onto the card with mat medium along with "are you dreaming" that was clipped from a magazine
Covered her face and the words with scraps of paper to avoid splatters of white paint from getting on those parts.....
And here it is....all done! I really like all of the texture on this one....
especially where you can see the letter stickers...I know I will be doing this again and I can't wait to try it on an art journal page!
And, as always, be sure to visit Daisy Yellow to learn all about icad2012!
