I have recently been playing with old book pages and trying my hand at doodling.
The current challenge at Jingle Belles is TEXT.
I first added a layer of gesso on the page page. I tried doing the doodle by watercoloring first and then adding the black lines or adding the black lined doodle and then painting with the watercolors. Gold splatters and a red mat finished the card front. It was added to a kraft card base.
I asked my card making group on Facebook if they would like receiving a card like this and they said yes - so it is on my list to make a few of these to mail in December 2024. They are flat also which helps with the mailing cost.
Thanks for stopping by.
