Loved Denise's gallery. I chose Bayou Stork to case. I changed the stamps, omitted the ribbons and sentiment and altered the panels slightly to fit my images. I tried to stay w/ the layout as much as I could and in the general area of her colors because I like them so much.
What I did: I spritzed a white glossy panel w/ water then applied Twinkling H2O paints. I used 3 colors, a blue, a lime green and an azalea color (sparingly). I added a little more water here and there to let the colors run and pool then I let it dry. I had to take this pic at an angle where you can't really see the sparkle, because the sparkle was just too much for the camera.
I stamped the images w/ black then edged them w/ a black marker and layered onto the other colors. The areas like the windows and some places on the hillside, I painted w/ bleach to whiten them. I punched three flower circles (Martha Stewart punch) and attached them to a narrow black panel, the center one is popped up as is the large pagoda.
The 3 dots are 2 sizes of hole punches layered and attached. I drew the lines around the black panel, first w/ a white gel pen then went over it w/ a turq. gel pen. Had to use white first to get it to show up. TFL
