4th of July Fireworks
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: mamaxsix

 Last week's mixability challenge was to use a creditcard to smear acrylic paint onto a card and when I saw that today's color challenge was red/white/blue, I decided to combine for a 4th of July card. I used two different blues as bases and glossy white and red acrylic paints. I dropped a blob of paint and used my credit card to pull the paint out in lines from the center. I had initially started by smearing the whole blob out, but as you can see from the red parts, I refined the technique as I went along. I then stamped my sentiment in white craft ink then embossed in white ep.

What a great way to get in two challenges! Love those explosions of fireworks you made with the smeared paint.
