Life is good

Hi everyone xx

Hope you're all well xx
A quick post from me today with a page from my Art Journal.  I've been trying my fans at drawing /painting flowers... I will have to keep practising lol
I'm loving the freedom of using an Art Journal. ..just see where it takes you...

Distress Oxides were used to create this background together with the bleaching technique through some stencils 

The flowers, hearts and circles I drew were painted with acrylic paints

I did some doodle writing in the background before adding the sentiment by Thirsty Brush & Co 

I hope you enjoyed today's make

Dahlia Blossoms stamp set

Afternoon crafters.

Sharing with you a card made using the beautiful Dahlia Blossoms stamp set by Altenew.

I stamped the images in Versmark then heat embossed with black embossing powder

The images were coloured in using Dyna paints and a water brush

I splattered some of the Dyna paints over the card blank

The sentiment was also stamped with Versmark and heat embossed with black embossing powder.  The edges were rubbed with some of the dyna paints to highlight them

This was adhered to card blank with foam pads to raise dimension and a few clear gems added to complete the card

Thankyou for taking the time to look
