Experimental Hello
This is a card I made a while back, one of the cards that I made for the last PC&S call for which selections were never made. To be honest I can't even remember what the category was for, but I remember having a ton of fun making this because I was just experimenting and having a good time.
The background is alcohol inks on Selphy printer paper. I was just adding a drop of color at a time (using just two colors) and then adding another drop in the center of the previous drop to create something kind of like tree rings. I must have made 10-12 panels while I was experimenting, it was addicting.
Since that panel is the star of the show, I wanted to keep things pretty clean and simple. I used Avery Elle's hello die, there's a second hello in black slightly offset although it's a little hard to see in the photo, and then added a hello mat as well.
OK, that's all for me today. Hope that your week is going well!
Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock: PTI - True Black and Lemon Tart; Canon Selphy Photo Paper
Ink: Ranger - Butterscotch and Stream Alcohol Inks
Other: Avery Elle - Hello Ellements Die
