ETA - I decided to add another white mat layer when I was taking a proper daylight photo.
I had to make another card for Dina's great MIX176 Scratch Art challenge. I wanted something brighter and happier than the black paint I used for my rose card.
For this, I scribbled the gelatos and blended them slightly, then added two coats of gesso. I scraped in some doodled curves and dots with a stylus. (The ones I have are a set sold for nail art, and they come in several sizes). Plan A had been to add a white die-cut flower and foliage, but the curves made me think of waves so instead I added a little boat coloured in the same bright colours. I masked most of it off and sprayed the bottom with some turquoise shimmer mist, cut a little slit in it and tucked the boat in. Layered on black and finished off with a gold sentiment.
Again, it's not perfect but again it was great therapy after a long day yesterday. And I'll definitely be doing this again .

This is so fun, and definitely bright and happy. That adorable boat is fantastic in those colors - and your colorful sea looks very inviting. Love the wonderful gold sentiment, too!.

Very cool effect, Sabrina! Definitely cheery, and looks like you had as much fun as a kid with fingerpaints! Your swoopy waves reminded me of dragging my fingers through the paint making these fun waves
