Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

 

There's an awesome new layout by Michelle on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog. I cut several Woodwork die strips from Stone paper then color blended Weathervane ink along the edges. I dusted off PTI's Into the Blooms dies for the florals. I think that was the start of their Into the Blooms die series. Let's just say I have an abundance of their floral dies since this one was released!  

 

I started by spritzing Weathered Wood, Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass distress spray stains onto an A2 watercolor panel. I swiped down the length of the panel to give a light blend of the colors.  I then lightly stamped a script in black ink and then stenciled the dots using Stormy Sky distress ink. The florals were all cut from white Bristol Smooth Surface paper then color blended with dye inks. After that step was done, I splattered with Permanent White Gouache paint.
