Happy Christmas!

Florals

I have recently started undertaking Traci Bautista's Floral Designs course, a birthday and Christmas present from my husband, and I am really enjoying it.

Here are some preliminary floral sketches using a variety of pens and techniques. Apologies that the pictures are that great - I used green paper to draw on!

Digital Scrapbooking

This is a picture of me when I was about 12 made into a simple digital scrapbook page. 

Ten Green Bottles ...

Well, gold and silver, actually! 

These are two more pieces I made with Brusho backgrounds, and then stamping and embossing the images on top. I might use these for cards.

More Brusho Backgrounds

This time, after I had created my Brusho background, I stamped on an image and then coloured the image using Brushos.

Smile!

Brushos

Three more pieces using Brushos and matte medium for the backgrounds. I love the grain effect this creates.

Brushos

I created the backgrounds for these pieces by using Brushos and matte medium. Once dry I stamped on them and embossed the stamped image. They might be quite good to use for cards, particularly for men. What do you think?

Don't Quit!

Here is a grungy digital piece that I created.

Pentecost

I know Pentecost is usually in May, but I realised that I hadn't posted a picture of this canvas and it's been on a wall for a while now. So here it is!
