I wanted to try a new techique today - mirror image.
The challenge is to make a valentines card using non-traditonal colors, no hearts or flowers. Oh my gosh..... this has to be totally way out there.....
Earth tones were used to highlight Gemma and George 'necking'. I bent the MFT stamp so their necks made a heart shape. George was stamped first onto c/s, and Gemma was stamped onto acetate to create the mirror image. Both are colored using watercolor pencils.
Grass and bushes are certainly celery, and the sky is sponged in bliss blue and soft sky.
Ribbon adorns the rear of the image panel which is raised using 3d dots, and a clip from hodgepodge hardware is placed on one corner.
"Drive me Wild" is my sentiment.....
TFL..... totally non-traditional don't you think??
