My life is rather dull (I don't mind!); I was so excited to see a cling wrap challenge again because I did TWO pieces a couple of weeks ago for WCW009.
The green background was done with several different colors of Brushos and the cling wrap. Mostly greens, I think there is some blue, black and yellow. I wish the colors had stayed somewhat separated but you know I love green, so it's all good.
I need to get some better watercolor markers than Tombow, they're kind of wimpy. I know good ones are expensive. I embossed the beautiful PF succulent (I think it could also be a flower or even a pine cone wreath) with the mint ep and went crazy with purples, greens, pinks, a little red/brown and some blues. I'm very happy with the look, it is splendid on the darker green background. I used a little strip of the green for the sentiment. I gave this a '2' just because of time involved. I love both of these techniques; this is the wc technique I'm most comfortable with. Happy happy, joy joy!

pretty dark green bg for this colorful center flower!! love how this turned out, did you add the brusho on the clingwrap or on the paper? I've put my clingwrap around a glass plate and sparkled the powders on it, then misted with water and applied the paper, if you use glossy photo paper you'll get the colors separated!!

Amazing! The background is an excellent backdrop for the flower and I love the green. The focal image is awesome. Love the variety of colors. Very nicely done!

Really great results for your BG! The title of your card gave me a bit of a giggle, because I have some succulents that are barely clinging to life. I don't know what I've done to them. Your nice succulent, however is full of life and beautiful colors!

I love that succulent and adore how it came out with the emboss resist technique! Your colors make it feel like a kaleidoscope! Simply stunning! I love your background too. I actually like that your colors melted together!
