Road Trip With Isabella Up The Columbia River Gorge

Gorgeous - Columbia River Gorge.  I never tire of its beauty

 Margie and Isabella in the Columbia River Gorge

 

 As we were parking at the Dam noticed some beautiful old cars.

 Ended up at Bonnevillle Dam to see if there were many fish going up the fish ladder.

Topiary

Used Paptertrey Ink Beautiful Beads paper (pink + Orange Mix) that is typically used to make paper beads.  However, I wanted to enhance the background so I added an orange Copic in the middle of each flower.  Subsequent to the copic addition, I then added white gellyroll ink to the center alternating every other one.

Papertrey Make It Monday Challenge - June 30, 2014

Make It Monday - #170 Masking with Die Cuts

I made one of my flowers using a blender pen and ink to make it look more like water color, which is all the rage.  Next time I will make all three flowers using this method.  I love the soft color that results and how well it blends with the technique in the background.   

Technique can be seen in Erin Lincoln's video on the Papertrey blog page at http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/
