Balloon Girl by Donna Gray

00:00


Hi everyone,


Donna here today with the sweetest little balloon girl for you!








What to do:


Use a sheet of Strathmore Mixed media paper for this as you’ll be using Distress markers for the colouring. Draw a little curved line with a black fine liner pen to give the little girl something to ‘stand on’ then stamp the image on top using black Archival ink.

Start to colour it in with a mixture of Distress markers, dilute first with a water brush for a softer effect. Use a blue Distress Ink pad and a Dinky stencil for the bubbles effect at the top of the card, pouncing the ink through the stencil.

Stamp the clouds separately with Hydrangea Archival ink, fussy cut out and adhere to the top of the card with foam pads to make them stand out.

Finishing touch is to add a few splatters with the water brush (you can do this if you dilute the Distress marker colour enough) and add a Tim Holtz sentiment.

Love this little girl…..you can’t be unhappy when you hold a balloon can you ;)



Supplies Used: 


Foam Pads

  
Hope you like it
