Decided to use sparkle pen for the background of this card, took the lid off the pen, then oops there was ink all over the work area! I decided to mop it up with some card and ended up with 8 Backgrounds. Once I had done this I started on the background for this card, I brushed the pen backwards and forwards across the card. then sprayed with water and repeated the process. Once background was dry used acrylic paint through a stencil to make the moon. stamped the dragons and trees with black archival ink, then stamped the stars versamark, using a soft brush, brushed over silver mica powder. To finish off I blended chipped sapphire ink around edge.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this sample I have used the Phoenix stencil ,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was some water colour left on the stencil, so I placed on card </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and spritzed with water. When I noticed the colour spreading onto the card I lifted the stencil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cleaned and dried it, then placed it back onto the dry card and inked through the stencil with </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Archival black ink. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card I used zig water colour duel tip pens and drew around each part of the stencil with </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the thick end of the pen. Then removed the stencil and spritzed water at it, left it to dry naturally. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then inked through stencil with black archival ink. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card was made in collaboration with my best friend Tracy Nutton. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The background was repeated stamping until whole card was covered. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The eye stamp from the set was coloured with zig water colour pens. The red centre of the eye was coloured </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with sweet poppy stencil mica powder. For the frame I used silver paste sprinkled with red and grey mica powders then heated until it bubbled. Mounted on Black and red card. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C7yvuSZ4LQs/XOF-EHr4VCI/AAAAAAAAIIs/wwC3dDpDME8yQACBSx2A0J6rZgtHWtw0QCLcBGAs/s1600/33442C45-3356-418E-8583-18E58CAD359D.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1379" data-original-width="1453" height="303" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C7yvuSZ4LQs/XOF-EHr4VCI/AAAAAAAAIIs/wwC3dDpDME8yQACBSx2A0J6rZgtHWtw0QCLcBGAs/s320/33442C45-3356-418E-8583-18E58CAD359D.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black tip was stamped in black versafine and embossed with clear embossing powder. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then coloured him with zig water colour pens, I scribbled them onto my craft mat then using a little water on a bush I painted the dragon using a gunmetal colour and a beige colour. I stamped the faux skin stamp three times then cut them in 3 different sizes to make the flower. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black tip Stencil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"> I used navy blue and olive gold mica powders from sweet poppy stencils over silver paste, then heated until paste bubbled. the background was done using the Faux dragon leather back plate, using bundled sage and crushed olive distress oxide. Words stamped with versafine black onyx ink. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I used a blue and purple zig pens scribbled onto my craft mat then spritzed with a little water before smooching card onto the colours, drying card in between each colour, coloured the dragon with the same pens, cutting around stamp on the scan and cut, was very happy with the cut was near perfect, then mounted onto card with foam pads. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used sparkle pens in blue, green and a little purple onto card then brushed over with a wet paint brush, for the back ground. Dabbed through the castle stencil with archival black ink using a stencil brush. used copper paste through stencil then sprinkled with a little silver mica before heating with heat gun to get the bubbled effect, also used the dragon stencil to make the path to the castle.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not sure how I made this background, but thought it was fitting for the Phoenix, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Used translucent paste, then covered in clear mini beads. Once dry placed stencil back in place and with black archival ink coloured the clear beads. was happy with this technique as the phoenix was still translucent and could make out the colours coming though the beads. high-lighted with white pen. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GGuQmaVcCg4/XOF-GDw7k5I/AAAAAAAAIJI/N3t0vf6hZSgefoV9wNw-_A4CyDigks_WQCLcBGAs/s1600/FD2E08DD-7996-4463-A0FD-1052D8D362CF.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1081" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GGuQmaVcCg4/XOF-GDw7k5I/AAAAAAAAIJI/N3t0vf6hZSgefoV9wNw-_A4CyDigks_WQCLcBGAs/s320/FD2E08DD-7996-4463-A0FD-1052D8D362CF.jpeg" width="216" /></a></div>
for my final sample I used the sweet poppy stencil tag die. Using mowed lawn and spiced marmalade oxide inks blended onto my tag, inked through leaf stencil with mowed lawn, then slashed ink from a green and orange sparkle pen onto the background. Stenciled Dragon with copper paste onto white card, then heated until it bubbled, once dry coloured with zig pens and water, cut out by hand then mounted with foam pads.<br />
Hope you enjoy the shows, look forward to sharing more samples soon.</div>
