The I decided to try to make lemonade out of my lemons...take a look:
I had the pink cattails that I had cut with the Friendly Silhouettes dies and just didn't know what to do with them. I kept thinking that they would look good as a border, overlooking a water scene.
Ah, of course! Waterfront! Now I just had to create a "scene"...
I started with a piece of Watercolor Paper. I stamped the mountains using Highland Heather and I used the "rock and roll" technique with Gorgeous Grape and a touch of Night of Navy. These were stamped twice.
Then I inked u the trees with Shaded Spruce and stamped several times.
The evening sky was done with Aquapainters and diluted ink refills, as was the lake and forest. I just painted away until I was happy with the outcome.
I created a frame of Basic Black using the Stitched Rectangle dies and attached my cattails to the inside. But it needed another row, so I cut some more cattails with black and added them behind. The frame was then adhered to my "painting" with Adhesive Strips, and then glued to a Basic Black card base.
I just love the brilliant colors...don't you? And I was thrilled with the outcome - sometimes making a mistake can result in something beautiful!
