LIVE LIFE BE HAPPY ....



Mixed Media Monday has "Purples/Blues" as its theme this week. Okay ... stepping out of my comfort zone as these are not two colours I would normally choose to work with, firstly I painted a thick coat of Gesso over the canvas then applied Acrylic paints, the stamp is stamped onto tissue paper using Versafine Imperial Purple then a thin coat of gel medium over the top.

Stamp - LaserStudioWerx (Scrap range)

This is a wonderful piece, and you should consider using blues and purples more often in your work -- you use them very well!
