I always seem to end up with distinct blobs where I place my colour initially - I guess this is maybe the third or fourth time I've tried the tutorial (linked in her challenge). This time I used specific paper for acrylics, and still had the same issue. I used blue and gold paints, and at the end added a little more white in here and there. When dry, I stencilled the polka dots with gesso, and some diamonds with glass bead gel, sprinkling some gold Pixie Powder over it while wet.
The leaves are TH Wildflower Stems, cut from a piece of paste paper done on an old map. The pink and red hollyhocks were already cut and saved with the die - I think they're acrylic paint. I wanted the yellow for contrast, so I just added some yellow alcohol inks to glossy photo paper for that one. Added Stickles in the centres of the flowers, and stamped some little bees here and there. Matted on black and added to a white base.
