a bit a la Monet.......by Miranda





 Hi there,

Today two cards made with the new Buddha sheets from Chocolate Baroque. You already know they are up to my street, they are so lovely to play with........ When I've used a Crafters stencil on the background..... stamped and coloured the images....I thought it looked a bit like the paintings of Monet......just a little bit.....I've used a great product, Crystal gel hologram from Viva Decor. It's a transparant gel with glitter and pieces of mica and it has a lovely sparkly shine. I've used one of my favorite Crafters stencils 'Cell theory'



Cell Theory







And the 2nd card, also made on a background with the acrylic bloc technique using the same stencil and a product called Viva Decor Kristall hologram gel. I've used also some of the lovely Memorybox dies. 
For a better view at the structure ......doesn't it have a great sparkly effect?





May your day sparkle too! Thanks for visiting......

  5. You do such beautiful work. I love all those pretty blending of colour. The addition of flowers is a nice touch too.

  6. Two very atmospheric cards but the first one just has me completely amazed by the way you created that water line. The water lilies look as if they really are ON the water. The sparkly effect of the gel is particularly striking on your second piece for it's as if the ancient magic is surrounding the image. The colours are beautifully soft & subtle.

  11. Two really beautiful cards, and the soft colours give a dream like feel and so atmospheric. The Kristall Gel is lovely with all that Mica makes it look like starlight on the water and in the sky. The colours are certainly a bit Monet like. The second card is wonderfully dimensional with the addition of all the flowers down the side.
