Double D Challenge Flowers of the month - July to December

Darlene is the host for this challenge. We are continuing with the flowers of the month Challenge. Here are some pictures of July to December flowers. Lots to pick from.  My favorite flower is the poppy, but I chose a different one for this challenge. 



Here is the card that I did for your inspiration.





This is a digital stamp from  Power Poppy called Hellebores.  I printed it out on Curious Metallic Cryogen White paper.  The paper is thin and works well for this technique.  
I did this for a class that I took from Vanilla Arts and Amy Shulke.  It was fun and I think it made a unique card. 
   
This is a closer look at the card.  You just color the image with your Copic markers and then on the back side, color splotches of color with your markers. On the front side, drip Copic Colorless Blender and you get this effect.  It is really scary to do and I have not been successful sometimes.  I made this into a 5 X 5 card and I think I will keep it a while and not send it out. 

I wish that I had pictures to show you this technique that Amy discovered.  It was quite by accident that she found it.  She spilled the colorless blender on a finished project. I love the dreamy look that you get. 


This is another image that I did for the class.  It is too big to make a card, but you can get a better idea of the technique. 




Of course, there is a prize for a random winner. 


Please take a look at the blog to see the rest of the team's inspiration HERE




Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!

  3. What?? This is stunning Barb! I would be so afraid to drip the blender onto all that beautiful coloring, but what amazing results. You should frame this beauty and hang it on the wall. It's truly a work of he-art!

  6. Wait, what???? You colored this? I'm intrigued. Even without the funky technique it would be incredibly beautiful, but I do love the extra artsy touches. I've done that colorless blender thing before on my backgrounds, but never on the colored image. Do you drop it on the colored image? That would be scary! Amazing, Barb!
