Fond Farewell

Hi There!

It's the end of the week already!

For any of you as time

 challenged as me I would advise 

a more realistic expectation 

of what we can achieve in a

 week is called for........

Louise Thomson is with us

today to share a leaving card

"I started this project by applying strips

 of random Washi tape on to a piece of 

white card.

I gave it a coating in Nougat

 fresco paint, followed by 

some jade paint.

 I added water and wiped back some 

of the jade fresco paint to keep it

 light and textured.

Using more fresco paints as an ink, 

I stamped the IO clouds stamp.

 The archival ink used here is permanent

 and perfect for stamping over shinier

 surfaces like that of the Washi tape.

 I ended up using three of the four 

colours in the new archival mini set one.

 I wanted a bit more texture so I 

used a set of nesting circle dies 

to create rings

Then on a spare piece of paper I

 stamped the air balloon again,

 cut it out and mounted it using

 lots of 3d foam pads.

Next I used dies to cut out the 

lettering I wanted...

and spritzed with colour bloom

 for a shimmery, textured finish 

 I added the lettering and highlighted it 

using fineliner, then popped a border 

around the edge to finish."
