This week Brenda is sharing this video from Jenna Rainey called how to paint watercolor pumpkins with Eucalyptus & Berries Seen here on YouTube. My first thought about it as I was watching it was I do not think I even own a size 16 brush hahaha... So, this paper was cut in an A6 ish size and I used maybe an size 8? ( something like that) and I my favorite part was the little curly vines out of the stems so, I got those a little close to the top edge of the paper and I thought, its OK I can counter sink it.
So, I had the bright idea to use these deckle dies from Honeybee stamps and after the fact I decided I probably should have gone with straight edge dies as after I cut a hole into the front of the sage shadow cardbase I decided if I wanted those curly vines I had to you know edge it a little off set and So I just started cutting up various pieces with those dies, cutting windows trying to layer them and hide the hole and such. ( the frame is actually pretty thick on the finished card as a result)
The brown texture on the top was also cut with the largest dies and then the third down in size to cover up how goofy all the layers under it looked. but, it allowed some of those colors to peek out, which was OK but, still off set. and then I seen this sentiment I had previously cut (twice ) and added some paint to thinking it was going to work with some snowman tags also under construction and I thought OK the colors look OK but, in real life, its probably a little bit too matchy- matchy as its hard to see unless you tilt the card. I did end up cutting the first cardbase in half and then putting foam tape under that layer and trimming it down a smidge so it could go onto a slightly darker cardbase that was 6" square. That sentiment is one from Sue Wilson and that's about it from me, if you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at SCS. Thanks for stopping by.
