I altered a round playing card to create this plant stick. I used a new technique to color the background of the card. I used red, orange and yellow alcohol inks on my craft surface and spritzed with some water and then dragged and swirled my card around until I came up with a color combo I liked. It was a little too tame for me so I added some additional drops of yellow while the card was still wet. When the inks dried, I dry brushed with white paint in the center of the card so that my sun face would show up better. My stamp is from Embossing Arts. I like how it turned out!
I am entering this plant stick in the following challenges:
