shopping our stash! not cuddly aliens from far away planets, but "UnFinished Objects"; you know the kind we mean, everyone has one or two half-colored images, things that got fussy-cut but never used, origami trees that were surplus to requirements. well, this week we want you to retrieve one of them, *finish* it up... and use it on a card or project! sound like fun? here's mine:
i painted several ornaments and other xmassy things over the summer, and i used some of them, but for some reason these two ornaments were still on their original watercolor paper, not outlined, not cut out and not used; just sitting in one of my embellishment envelopes. i'm not sure how or why it happened, but i definitely felt that they needed to go on a card right now! so here they are:

ReplyDeleteLove your use of colors on this one and, of course, your focal grouping is impeccable! The neutral layers really make the ornament colors pop! Nice integration.
