Good morning everyone,
Today I would like to show you a recently made set of ATC's ... this was another experiment with a brusho background which just suggested to me an undersea scene. I am still at early days with brushos, but I am so loving these vibrant colours!
I created my background on a large snippet of white card with brushos spritzed with water, then cut into 3 pieces slightly smaller than standard ATC size. I stamped and heat embossed my seahorse and decided it needed some sea foliage but I don't have any such stamps ... so I stamped my Lavinia leaf creeper in various shades of VFC which I felt worked quite well. I drew bubbles with a mix of blue sparkle pen and white gel pen using my Lavinia White orbs stencil to guide me, then matted each panel onto snippets of dark blue linen card stock and finished off with a little washi tape.
Here is a closer look at one of them.
Stamps: Visible Image - VI Minis #1; Lavinia Leaf Creeper;
Media: Brushos (Turquoise, Ultamarine, Sea Green); Versafine Clair (Twilight, Rainforest, Green Oasis, Warm Breeze); Sakura Stardust pen (blue); white gel pen;
Tools: Lavinia White Orbs stencil;
Other: Washi tape - The Range.

Talking of bubbles … last Thursday we visited the stunning Liverpool River if Light, which is on for 2 weeks until November 6th. One of the light sculptures was based on the concept of bubbles, representing the fragility of life. Here’s a pic, plus a few more of the stunning light installations.
Take care, and thanks so much for visiting today.
Hugs,
