While in a creative slump a friend challenged me to create something using a straw and blowing ink around. After many failures getting the ink to move I found the bubbles technique by Dina in the Mix28 challenge. Once again, I was getting little color on the card until I kept adding colors to the bubble mixture. It started out as an ugly yellow green but I kept adding reds, yellows and orange along with a bit of brown. I stamped the image and added gesso to the parts I wanted to color. Colored with pencils. I cut apart my Inkyliscious background stamp to use the words separately. This happened. Thanks for looking.

Nancy it's beautiful. I really like how you colored those leaves. They look like you could reach out and touch them. I like the coloring on here. I think you did a terrific job. I don't know why but I seem to always miss your posts unless I go to your gallery.

This is SO PRETTY NANCY!!! It's difficult to believe that you struggled in any way to get this result. It is really spectacular. I love that you're not afraid to try new things. Really amazing.
