*MIX102 Nature's Fury

Photo Details

Poster: hobbydujour

MariLynn's MIX challenge was to show static electricity. I found a photo of lightning to see exactly how it might look, sponged the blue background onto white CS and then, with a very fine pointed brush and white acrylic and water, painted on the lightning. Added the white "blob" for a focal point. I stamped the trees in gray and black and clear embossed....so this isn't an embossing resist.

OH WOW!!! Words can't express how amazing this is. I love how you did the lightning. I love the silhouetted trees with that fantastic background. I am so glad you played along with my challenge. I hope you have a wonderful day today!

Tripple wow and a few OMGs for this stunning card. How cleaver you are. The lightning intensified by the white acrylic just vibrates right off the page. Right into my favs.

This is absolutely beautiful! I tried and tried to get my lightning to look like that and finally gave up and used a stamp!

I watched a lightning storm just like that when we visited friends in MN - very good lightning effect on your card.

Sallie, this is a stunning creation of electricity in the sky. I am in awe of your technique using white acrylic to make those lightning streaks. Beautiful!

This is so cool! Did you ink, paint and stamp on top of the photo or did you just sort of copy the photo? I'm not sure if I understood. It sounds like you did everything on top of the photo. Well, either way, it is a masterpiece!! Just brilliant!!! Looks like the lightning hit that one tree! Beautiful!!
