I focused on Joanne's:
-stenciled background
-two 'animal' images
I changed:
-colours
-background technique
I started by creating my background on watercolour cardstock. I taped it to a board to limit warping and then laid the Heffy Doodle Circles of Life stencil over top.
I sprayed the panel with lots of water and then sprinkled Shimmer Powder over the top. I wasn't sure what I would get by doing that and when I first lifted the stencil, I didn't love it. So I replaced the stencil and used an aqua brush to help me fill in the circles a bit more. I'm happy that the separation of the powder into blues and yellows is still visible in some areas - that's one of the things I love about watercolour powders. Plus this one has shimmer built right in!
Once my background was dry, I used an elephant from Ellie Goes Nuts and I used some mirror-stamping to create a kissing couple. I added the hearts and sentiment to complete the little scene.
I watercoloured the elephants with Catherine Pooler inks and then added some Dream Drops for embellishments and over the little hearts.
