MIX279 = Pull It - use the pulled string technique
This is a most serendipitous challenge as I was at a stamping retreat a week ago and we tried the pulled string technique so I had this piece that I'd made - this challenge inspired me to turn it into a card.
In the video linked with the challenge, she used watercolour paints. At our retreat we used acrylic paints.
I dipped the top end of my piece of string in blue acrylic paint and the bottom end in lime green. I really liked the resulting mixture of colour. The shape makes me think of a calla lily.
I masked it and then stamped randomly inked text around it with Distress Shabby Shutters. And then stamped and heat embossed my sentiment. So my mixed mediums are acrylic paint and ink.
I bordered in light green and popped it up on a blue card base.

Wow this is awesome and I love everything about it. The colours are beautiful. In my faves.
I first saw this technique a few months ago on YouTube by an Irish artist.....loved it then and you have done a wonderful job with the technique on your card. TFS Happy day

That is so cool using the two different colours, Susan. I think I'll have to give that a go, though I am trying to keep my desk tidy this weekend. It looks like blown glass.

Susan, I am so glad that you were inspired to make this into a card. I love how it turned out. I like how the two different colors mixed. I am going ot have to try that. When I tried it I did one color and let it dry and then did another color on top of it. But I like how yours blended in the middle. I love the text that you stamped with it. (very mixed media) It is stunning. Thanks for playing along with my challenge. I hope you have a great weekend.
