Styles Combined

Good morning. Welcome to Creative Juice.

Lately I have been playing with the more free style of creating inspired by Tim Holtz. You KNOW that is way out of the box for me. Today while searching for a particular image in my stash of pre- mades, I came upon this adorable MFT image I had yet to use on a card. Earlier in the day I had been playing with Distress Oxides. I watched a Tim Holtz video the night before in which he used ONE color and got these amazing results. I had to try it! All I can say is AMAZING!

I did discover that the results do depend on what paper you use. I tried it on multimedia, tag, bristol and watercolor papers. Watercolor gave the best results by far! I didn't have a spray in Brushed Corduroy so my results were a bit different in that respect as well.

When I found the sunflower girl she just jumped out as a perfect match for the background paper.

She is from MFT Stamps and is colored with Copics.

The background paper was made with layers of Brushed Corduroy. That's it!

I'm addicted!
