After the lovely weather for the holiday weekend we've been left with a mixed bag of sunshine and showers this week but we are busy finding fun things to do and enjoying spending some much needed family time together. Today we are out reconnecting with missed friends.
But, before I go I wanted to say....

I made a triptych of canvases for a lovely friend for her birthday.
Each canvas measures 5"x 7" (13 x 18 cm).
The three canvases were all created the same way and each layer was dried before moving on to the next step. I started by giving the canvases a coat of white gesso. Then I added some colour using Distress Oxide Broken China with water.
I pushed Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade through the Aall & Create stencil #21 in random areas.
Then I used the Aall & Create stencil #45 Digital Bubbles by dipping the stencil in watered Cracked Pistachio DOX and applying it to the canvases.
For the next step I used the 3rd generation technique with Chipped Sapphire DI and the Aall & Create stamp #310 Bubble Block. I finished the backgrounds by using a white Posca pen to add some splats.
The flower is from Aall & Create stamp #109 Blossomed Numbers. I stamped it twice onto watercolour card coloured with DOX Squeezed Lemonade and Scattered Straw. I cut the flowers out and highlighted certain areas with a white Posca pen.
I then chopped the images unevenly in two and triple embossed them with clear powder. I attached them to the canvases with Prima Heavy Body Gel.
I finished the canvases by painting the sides with watered Broken China DOX.
