July Colour Swap

This month's Colour is Blue......
... and it is also Steampunk!  Well, all mine are!!
I used a sheet on which I had gelli printed several stamps and stencils in blue for all three cards. All the sentiments have been printed out some time ago.  I just tore each one and inked the edges before attaching them to the cards.


I stamped out some flowers, fussy cut them out and attached them diagonally across the card.  I rolled the petals before attaching so that the flowers did not sit flat.

Here is my steampunk Butterfly and a part flower, attached so that they lay flat on the paper.  This time I watercolour washed the images before attaching.

I stamped several roses onto a separate piece of card and fussy cut them all out.  The paper had been used to wipe up the left over paint on my gelli plate so the actual colouring in of the rose was quite random.  After attaching them to the card, I added a sentiment across the stalks as a ribbon.








I have received the following cards:

 Beautiful decoupaged peacock, each 'eye' has been glossed.

Thank you Barbara.

 
Shades and textures of Blue abound.
