This is my first upload of 2015!???? I've been lagging in the studio! lol
I'm posting this for the Mix-Ability with our hostess MariLynn who's asking us to add static electricity to our projects!
Do you know how much I add static to any project during winter? All the time. I'm actually a magnet to static charge. No one touches me before I've been grounded! Ha.
So my card today has a wee bit of the challenge on it. For some reason my technique looked obvious when wet and then when it dried it is hardly noticeable. What I did to add the look of electricity was dipping a stylus into white gesso and scribbling it all over my finished monoprint paper. I certainly will be trying this technique again in my mixed media. I love the look from the gallery!

Oh my! This is splendid! Your hummingbird just glows! I love the way you have coloured it. Your background is a wonderful match for its glowing colours. Beautiful, beautiful card! TFS

I actually took a picture of this set at the show to make sure I find it somewhere - so pretty - and the samples and projects done with it were gorgeous!

Wow - this is beautiful. Love the colouring on that little humming bird - and he is definitely lit up in the flash from all the lightening flickering around. Great.
