Hi there! The weekend is here at last. This felt like one of the longest weeks since September. There is SO MUCH TO DO at school and right now I can't see the surface of my desk.... That's okay for now because I have nothing to do this weekend except relax, hang out with friends tomorrow, and make cards!
Tonight I made a card for the Inspiration Challenge at SCS. I chose to copy the layout of this image:
Here's my card using a brand new Whimsie Doodles digital stamp called Circus Baby Lion.. Adorable!!
I did a fun pointillism technique in the background using a few different shades of blue. I started by colouring a light blue wash over the whole background, then added the blue dots. I concentrated the dots closer to the image then tapered them out as they moved away from the centre.. Here's a closer look:
You can see the different shades of blue in this shot. I like to add a few different shades because it tends to bring vibrancy to your background versus a monochromatic look..
