A Colour Change

Howdy Bloggers Lisa here with a Friday mixed media update .

playing on the scrap table last week i produced a few pieces ,

 but this one was not sitting with me well and just lacked something ...

So I started with a piece of Marshmellow bazzill cardstock and textured a mandala onto the  background which  placed off center on the page. 

I arranged my photo placement and added the maked "you make me happy " words using the

 Heidi Swapp watercolor sheets and softly dabbed it with stazon black ink to imprint the words,

a little morroccan tissue paper addition to give a little more detail and texture .

I then added a little mixed Dylusions paint in Bubblegum pink and Cermacoat pale pink to the mandala and left the stenciled area free from colour.

Drying time and embellishment building , 

a standard instax pix with black matt cardboard,

brings your eye into the photo and highlights all the shadows 

within your photo and the page one creates .

Heidi Swapp Apoxy words , some me and my big ideas chipboard 

and this baby was almost finished...

but it lacked something , and for me it lacked the punch of colour and zest for life that this family is the photo have , so out come the hot and happy bright colourful Dylusions /Dina Wakley paints.

and now I am satisfied. 

Thanks for dropping by the blog , see you next week.
