QFTD223, Icon

Photo Details

Poster: Holstein

This week we are honoring Dina as queen. If there would be one word to describe Dina...it would be generous. She shares her amazing artistic talent with us in so many ways...her cards, tutorials, and all the time she gives to this community. She taught me that you can mix different mediums. I didn't chose a particular card, but chose to do the mix medium. I first painted my flowers with white acrylic paint and then with watercolor pencils did the coloring of the flowers. I embossed the sentiment. Thanks Dina for all you do!!!!

OH

This is so incredibly beautiful it almost made me cry! And it's SUCH an incredible tribute to her. Yes. She is generous with her talent and her spirit. I certainly couldn't say which I love more.

My hat is off to you.

Oh my word, this is beautiful!! The flowers are absolutely gorgeous. At first I was looking to see what stamp that is, and then I realized that you PAINTED them by hand! *swoon* This is truly a work of art!

Linda, this just takes my breath away. It has such a lovely, soft quality...I would like to sit and enjoy those flowers on a hectic day. The technique you used of mixing mediums turned out gorgeous. Pinned and faved.
