A Life Without Dreams by Alison Hall

Hello Crafters! It's Alison here today,
sharing a mixed media card that I made with a few of my favourite mediums, and
some Dylusions stamps.
Here's what I used...
Dylusions Cling Mounted Stamp Sets -
Black Sheep, Quintessential Quotes, Anatomy of a Page
Watercolour Cardstock, Black Cardstock,
6x6 ins White Card Blank
Stencil Brush, Paintbrush, Baby
Wipes, Music Sheet, Black Pen, Water Spray Bottle, Heat Gun, Scissors
Here's what I did...
1. I began by cutting some watercolour
cardstock into 5x5 inch squares. I then used Gelatos to add some background colour,
scribbling with different tones of the same colours, then blending with a baby
wipe.
2. Next, I did some tone on tone
stencilling with Dinky Stencils and Fresco Finish Acrylic Paint.
3. My next step on the background was
to sprinkle on a contrasting colour of Infusions, then spritz with water, and
dry with a heat gun.
4. To make my card, I picked out the
purple background and used black Stazon ink to stamp a floral design
around the edges.
5. I painted a thin coat of Snowflake
Fresco on some music sheet, then stamped the focal image from the Black
Sheep stamp set, and the quote, then cut them out. I also hand cut a scalloped
edge and added some black pen doodling, before gluing it to the edges of the
background.
6. I adhered the image and quote,
outlined the words with a black pen, then used Distress Markers to colour in
the image. I used a round paintbrush to add a splatter of watered down
Snowflake Fresco, edged the background with black Stazon, then matted and
layered onto black cardstock and a white card blank to finish.
I hope I've inspired you to create some
art today.

Wow - those backgrounds are amazing. Great idea to make up a batch all in one go. They look so cool all laid out like a creative rainbow! Fun crazy character to go with the purple tones.
