One of my RT college classmates recently died shortly after learning that she had Stage IV lung cancer. She never smoked and was found to have a genetic mutation that left her susceptible to the disease. She and her husband were a love-at-first-sight, joined-at-the-hip sort of couple. Early in their courtship I remember seeing them rowing in the lake in town, water lilies all around them.
Stamped the Flourishes Water Lilies in Memento Espresso Truffle, masked the pads and colored with Copics and studio pencils. Sponged the water with Pool Party & Caribbean. Added Pearl Pen accents to the centers of the stamped flowers. Mixed the molding paste with a drop of Antique Linen distress ink and used it to stencil the water lily on bottom. When dry, lightly painted with several shades of Pearl-Ex. Punched the dragonfly from aluminum foil per Wendy's challenge, covered with Versarmark and painted with copper, purple and green Pearl-Ex then heat set. Adhered with Glossy Accents, stamped the sentiment and done. PT - 1
Thank you, Lydia and Wendy for the great Friday challenges. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.
