.........I thought this one would be a good one to start with. It was inspired by the colourful seaside houses you get in places like Tenby.
I used brown acrylic paint and my Gelli Plate to get the outline of the houses. Then I coloured them in with Distress Inks and a make-up sponge. This involved quite a bit of masking.
I masked off the windows and didn't add any colour to them as I liked them as they were. I then made a frame around the houses with Post-its to protect the surrounding area and added the colour with a make-up sponge.
When I'd finished that I masked off the top four houses to add the sea and sky.
A flock of seagulls and a pink mat that matches one of the houses finish it off.
I was quite reluctant to send this one in as I thought it would look lovely in a frame. When I have time I might have to make myself another.

Hi Lynne, lovely card. I love your shading. I did have a little smile with your masking but only because that's what I know you for and I now know what a mammoth task it can but, but well worth it for the results. xxx
ReplyDeleteI really like this one, Lynne. Looks simple until you work out the amount of masking to achieve this result. Beautiful. xx
