For today's prompt in the Index Card a Day 61 day challenge, we were encouraged to consider using a recipe or formula. I've tried this recipe and while it may not be quite as good as a fresh batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies, at 11:30 pm, if you're having a craving, it does in a pinch. Yum!
It's hard to tell, but the background looked really cool before I started layering. I took purple & made 6 different blobs, adding pale pink in increased amounts to each blob so I had 6 different shades of purple. I then layed down some wax paper & smoodged (I know, not a word) the colors then lifted & repositioned the card several times to get an all over mottled look ... It really did look gorgeous.
Next, I used a homemade stencil with geometric shapes in an overall heart pattern to apply dark purple acrylic. The flower was made on watercolor paper, painted a circle w/3 different colors before doodling the flower & cutting it out. The recipe was printed out, washed with a thin acrylic purple & affixed with matte medium. After some white & black doodling, I edged it with Archival jet black.
Have I said lately that purple is one of my favorite colors? I like the way this looked - I may forgoe the punch and take it straight up to the kitchen.
