Colour Saturation

The theme for April's Stampotique ATC swap was

"COLOUR SATURATION"

So, what to do?

Since Mr Mojo seems to be AWOL

and I was trying to work out exactly what 

"colour saturation" meant,

 I had a bit of a think and came up with a painty background

that I had been playing with a couple of weeks ago.

 

I don't have a Gelli Plate

but there was an article in a magazine 

about using an acrylic block instead.

So  a few squirts of Kaisercraft acrylic paints in

Turquoise, Lime & Hot Pink

onto my largest SU block,

shmooshed around then straight down onto a piece of cardstock

and when you lift it up, it sort of lifts the paint too

giving the texture of ridges or leaves.

Since there is plenty of paint on the block

you can give it a second and third go onto more card

and each time will give you a different effect.

I next stamped Girl and her Dog (without the Dog)

onto white cardstock

and then onto leftover pieces of the painty background for her dress

before fussy cutting around the images.

I decided to leave the Girls uncoloured

as I thought there was plenty of colour already.

The sticker words on each ATC were all different

as they came from a packet in my stash

and no two words were the same.

It took me a while sitting looking at them all

to work out little quotes that made sense.

So, there you have it!

The first two girls made their way to Scotland and the USA

and I kept the third for myself.

Thanks for coming to look at what I can do without Mr Mojo,

and if you would like to leave a comment 

(only nice ones, of course)

then please do!

Happy Crafting!
