Therese Calvird is our muse this week. I've taken inspiration from her card layout and inverted it. I've used the same shaped card, plus I've framed my image in a dark solid colour with large white border and used five elements with a sentiment.
The blue flamingo amongst the pink ones reminded me of Vincent Van Gogh's Irises: one white flower in a sea of blue, of being alone in a crowd, standing tall and being yourself.
I coloured the daisies & cardstock with Promarkers/Flexmarkers. I love the flick the Flexmarkers provide and I look forward to practicing this technique.
