Monthly Themed ATC - July - Mermaids

Underwater Playdate

This card was made on heavyweight watercolor paper.  The background is watercolor, as are some of the little fishies.  The card is covered with a layer of Distress Crackle Paint (Picket Fence), which gives it a really pretty underwater look! (Double-click on the picture to get a larger look at the Crackle effect.)

Working with masking fluid


Dragonflies
This painting was 3/4 masking and 1/4 painting!  I worked with a fountain pen tip, dipping it into pebeo drawing gum.  This is the best masking fluid I've found!

Summer of Color - Wrap Up

I decided to line up all of my creations for Summer of Color in one blog post.  I know we all have a lot of blogs to review for this last week, so I wanted to make it as quick as possible to scan through my creations one more time.  Please come back again, should you have more time!  This was a wonderful challenge!
