Inspired by all these colors with one big word: https://blog.ellenhutson.com/2020/01...in-watercolor/
So I have a friend, who as of yesterday, was willing to get on a plane next week to their 2nd home in AZ. This is my opinion on the subject and am sending her one of yesterday's magnets that say "Bloom Where You Are Planted". This like the coffee filter printing technique, but I used a paper tablecloth. I accordion pleated it and dribbled eye droppers full of watercolor concentrates randomly like I was tie dying it. Sprayed water here and there while experimenting to keep the color bleeding. I made about 20 BG's. With this one, I laid a portion of the wet colored tablecloth over the photo paper and randomly started stamping with a semi-solid, unmarked floral stamp. I also used a brayer here and there. I used the Scan N Cut to make the word travel black embossing it 3 times, and it cut out the stamped and embossed little plane as well. Adhered these elements and then stamped the little cactus. Hope she sticks around. UPDATE: Currently POSTPONED FOR 2 WEEKS. YAY!

Love that bg Lori - the bright color and textures make quite a statement with your oversized word. I know many of the airlines are cutting prices to next to nothing BUT with social distancing the norm everywhere - how can you think it's safe to put yourself in a tin can with hundreds of random strangers ??? I wouldn't do it for ALL the tea in China - I hope your friend reconsiders, too!

My sister owns a 2nd home in northern WI and she received a letter from the city, asking them to not come. Grocery stores depleted, mostly older population, so so healthcare. So you go, girl, lay down the law. I love it!!
