Putting It Together

I've been on vacation but it wouldn't be a vacation if I couldn't do stuff I love, too. So, I brought some supplies along with me. I brought several pre-stamped or printed images to colour with watercolour pencils and waterbrushes, a few background I had done as "experiments" at home, and some die cuts that didn't fit the projects I originally made them for.

We went to Missouri to spend time with my in-laws and watch the eclipse. I made this card as a thank you to my in-laws for their hospitality and everything else.

Totality!!  Picture taken by my brother in law.

We were kicking back on my in-laws' farm in one of the fields to watch the eclipse. Experience of a lifetime!

After the eclipse while we were socialising and waiting for the hamburgers to grill, I used the several rat terriers around me to model for my colouring on the 'crazy dog' (my in-laws have a few rat terriers, they're down to only 10 now *laugh*). I used watercolour pencils and water brush. my fav on-the-go, no room to craft, medium.

Back at the hotel, I paired the doggo with a background I made earlier and brought with me.

I used a stencil to apply crackle paste to a watercolour paper panel and allowed it to dry thoroughly (overnight). I had used washi to anchor it to my work surface for the stenciling and to give it a small margin on the edges.

I used Cosmic Shimmer Chocolate Bronze to cover the panel and bring out the nuance of the crackle paste and stencil.

I added the doggo to the panel with foam mounting tape and made a sentiment panel with scrap watercolour paper and Perfect Pearls Cappuccino.

Inside, I added a continuation sentiment and a couple of the items from the Crazy Dog set.
