I liked the texture in the sky and the lovely water. I used my Gelatos for a technique I had seen on YouTube this week which used watery Gelatos to create a drip effect. First I gessoed my paper and then I used my three blue Gelatos to
scribble on the top of the paper. I wet them and used my finger to blend. Then I spritzed them with water and tipped the paper to let the colors run down. While everything was wet, I dumped DD glitter onto the paint. When everything was dry I brushed off the excess. Warning: the glitter had turned blue, so brush off onto scrap and store separately. The bottom part had a few drip marks but a lot of white space so I rubbed gelatos on the flower head of the hydrangea stamp and spritzed it and stamped on the bottom. Then I inked it up and stamped without spritzing for a bit more definition. I stamped the hydrangea separately and used my blender pen to add a bit of color and then cut it out. Unfortunately, I don't have any nautical stamps down here because a boat would have been great with this background, but thhydrangea is lovely too. The hydrangea head was stamped repeatedly tone on tone on the turquoise card.

Beautiful background and beautiful colouring on your hydrangea! I really like that the little whiter border around the flower lets it pop from the background. Great card in soothing tones of blue and purple. Nice!
