fear no color

I think I used all my colors on these Art Cards.   

They are on their way to Sandie as a part of the monthly swap. 

I am terribly late this month. I can't seem to catch up. 

 October was supposed to be a smooth sailing month. 

Babies sure do have a way of altering the fabric of a family.

The cards are a combination of collage and watercolor.

 I used Tim Holtz tissue wrap over a gelli plate background

 and then I just allowed the rest to flow. A little water color, 

a little stamping, and a little colored pencils . . .   

some gesso  . . . 

oh and I even managed to schmear on some gelatos . 

 I added a bit of detail with a very fine pitt pen.       

The cards still don't feel finished to me, but they are in the mail so.. 

well... they are finished.   

 I made several color copies of them so 

you'll bee seeing these hearts again in more projects.  

Have a great weekend !
