Happy Saturday! I am back with a few more Valentine's I am using the Anything But Cute Challenge "
Grungy Love" to inspire my first valentine.
This one started with a bunch of splashes of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist on a white background.
After the glimmer mist I splattered white acrylic paint over the surface. It added a subtle texture and when I added the watercolor pencil you could see the resist. I then traced in the heart with watercolor pencil. I shaded it with another layer of watercolor pencil and blended with the waterbrush. I stamped the sentiment and then went looking for the right embellishments to give it edge.
This reminds me of a previous challenge at AO where we were challenged to do Spring SteamPunk. I liked that idea of the bright vibrant colors with the touch of metal. I think this one is going to go off to my son. He will get a kick out of it.
Next up is a softer Valentine's with some pretty gold and pinks.
I had another scrap of inky background with all gold mist. I started tracing hearts in various colors and then blending them out with the waterbrush.
You can see I had fun layering them in various sizes. I loved the translucent effect and thought of balloons. So I added some thread to the balloons along with a bit of the definition stamped in the background and found the perfect sentiment to go along.
