For Polly's Hundert Who? MIXed media challenge.
I liked the lollipop trees. I also saw a line of beach huts in the first thumb and I'd quite like to run with them if I can find time and energy.
But last night I sprayed two coffee filters with the green and blue acrylic mists, and since I had no purple spray, I used Brusho powders for that one. I gessoed a piece of card and then embossed the Swirly Scribbles into it as a gesture towards curving lines. I used gelatos and a baby wipe to colour the background. This morning I cut some circles from the filters, layered them, added brads, scrunched them up and added them to the base after first spattering the foreground with a dark blue Inktense pencil. The leaves are cut from the coffee filter left from a coffee filter background with Brushos. I added some sequins to fill the spaces in a bit, with Stickles in the centre of each. With the purple in the sky I added a flight of birds, and then went for a sentiment that I thought worked. Edged the panel with a black Sharpie and stuck it onto the base. Ho hum, but I'm tired and that doesn't help anything.

What a great mix, Sabrina! In the gallery, the flowers appear luminous, such bold and pretty colors and my favorite parts are the black and white centers. The background elements are wonderful, too.
