My last TLC challenge was 208 ... boy am I glad to get 'back in the saddle'
Today's TLC220 challenge was to use the faux paisley technique. I have to be honest - I didn't know there WAS a technique for this, lol, but I should have known there's a technique for EVERYTHING!
I stamped the background paper in hunter with the SU polka dot punch stamps & then doodled with a white gel pen ... The trick is knowing when to stop. When I first started, I was like .. ummmm .. but as you get going it really takes on a TOTALLY bandana look, doesn't it? so don't be afraid to try it if you haven't already.
The image was PIF'd and I colored with prismas & gamsol. I sponged some bashful blue for the background clouds and then added some Shimmerz to the wings and 'horns' ... I don't have a childishly written stamp for happy birthday, so this was computer generated. I placed it in the dragon's hands so he could hold the sign.
Thanks for looking ... it's been weeks since I stamped and this was a very nice 'welcome home' challenge for me. What do you think?
