Eclipse technique

Today I am back with another challenge between BożenA and myself and this time it was my turn to choose a challenge topic. I decided to go with a technique this time and with one that I have been wanting to try for a while - the eclipse technique. So here is my project.

I recently shared a watercolor project that I did after discovering that my new printer can indeed accommodate watercolor paper and this is the second digi I had printed out on that page. I used my Arteza Real Brush pens to color this image and different to the other one, I did not use any water for these tulips, but rather blended the markers by using only marker ink. I used three colors for the flowers and two colors for the leaves and stems. I finished off the coloring by adding some light grey to the background. This is just one color shaded with itself by applying a second layer of ink to some areas.

Once the coloring was done, I decided where I wanted my large word and cut it out with alphabet dies. I also cut the letters out five more times out of thin black cardstock. I ran a black marker along the edge of the letters that I had cut out of my card panel. I then added the cardpanel to a piece of heavyweight black cardstock and added it to a white cardbase. I added the two orange strips to the side and then stacked the letter die cuts and added them back to the space. I like that the letters are raised on black cardstock, it defines them a bit from the colorful image.

I completed the card by added the word "for" which I stamped in Versamark ink and covered in fine detail embossing powder.

I am excited to see what BożenA has come up for this project. Please head over to her post to see and also leave her a comment while you are there.
