I was playing around with my prima bloom sprays. Spraying little drops and swiping my paper into it. Even though I just got a little swipe in the corner of this ATC I thought the colours were really deep, and pigmented. Okay, and technically there are two colours. plumeria, and empress gold. Its so little though I think it still fits the brief.
Then I just needed the black and white. Well the background is white so I decided to just put a simple sentiment on it embossed in black. The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz stamp set. Then I went around the edge with the same black embossing powder and heated it.
I was almost gonna leave it there but I felt it was just too boring. I still wanted to keep enough white space showing though. After a rummage around I decided to put some lavinia stars around the edges and a Dina Wakely circle stamp in adjacent corners. Then I used my crop o dile tool to put a white eyelet with a black and white Amy Tangerine plus one ribbon.
That's it. Pretty simple. Simple is okay though. White space is okay too. I really like that about Dina's style. She is not afraid to leave a space open. The white space can help draw the eye to the main subject of your work.
Just a short post today as I'm super busy sorting out my back garden. Ill be back shortly with a simple guide to hopefully take some of the stress and anxiety of tackling your garden clean up.
See ya again soon! Always, -Kass
