Question for Week 29 of 52 Questions: Do you have a recurring dream?

I am working more & more with many layers of Kroma Acrylics….LOVING it all!  I don’t have alot of the colours but will be ordering more as soon as I can save for more.  They are FABULOUS to work with!

For this card, I first sanded the surfaceof the card, then started with the Quinacridone Red, spread it with the old hotel card.  Its a thin layer so it dried quickly, then I added the Yellow Oxide layer.  Once that was dry, I added a light coat of gesso, then with a wet paper towel I rubbed off some of  the colour….you can see where I rubbed more than other areas.

I used a pencil to lightly draw the tree (YES, trees are my recurring dream!), then used a Zig Writer marker to colour the tree.  I cut all the words except for the “recurring” from the same old book I have been using for other cards.  For the “recurring” I happened to have an old receipt on my table, so I tore off a strip, wrote the word with my Zig Millennium marker, then cut the length.  I had tried to silhouette the numbers at the top, but it didn’t work out, so I cut the numbers from a catalogue selling stamps.
