For my birthday, I got some of the Zig Clean Color Brush markers, so decided to take them for a spin. I pulled out my trusty ruler and started by drawing lines with a light turquoise marker, then went over the second half with a darker shade. I pulled out a water brush and then went over the lines for a fun watercolor background.
Next I had to try a technique I saw Kylie use for the glitter splatter. I dropped a bit of glue on a craft sheet, then added water to it and splattered on my water colored background. Then I added the latte colored glitter. The floral image from Floral Notes is stamped onto a stitched circle die cut and I water colored with the clean color markers. I added a bit of glitter to match to the flower centers, then rounded a sentiment from Small Phrases to add to my circle. This piece is matted with black and then I tucked a bit of iridescent cording behind for some pizzazz.
That's all for today! I'll be back tomorrow with our August Diva Inspirations Hop and challenge!
