Going crazy with colour.....

Hi everyone and welcome to my final project for the CVC project blog. I am leaving the team at the end of October after two great years! 

So for my final project I have gone a little crazy with colour in my journal using a combination of Dylusions and Dina Wakley paints. The background was created by painting in patches with a combination of a brush and my fingers - no great plan... just adding the blue / yellow / green in various places. 

I then added some white paint with a credit card and also through a layering stencil (Splotches.) I also added some background stamping in archival ink.

I die cut some scribbles and splats in white card and sponged some  of the same colours on them adding a little black archival to contrast.

I took a piece of thinner white card and lightly brushed with purple and blue paints - intentionally keeping it light and patchy. Once dry and stamped the scribbly birds and fussy cut.

A quote and some doodling around the page edges finished my page!

I hope you like it!

Scribbly Bird Celebrations

I decided to reach for my scraps box for this card and found a background I had been playing with. This was mop up mostly with Deco Art paints.

I cut some strips and edge with Wilted Violet Distress Ink,

I stamped and inked my bird with Wilted Violet, Cracked Pistachio and a little Salty Ocean inks. Once cut out I added some additional violet around the edges.

I decided my bird needed some greenery so I die cut one of Tim Holtz Holiday Greens thinlits and added similar colours.

My greeting is from Tim Holtz Hashtags but I cut off the hashtag! A little lace was added too.
