Also, I realized that since I don't own one of Mr. Holtz's recommended craft mats I needed to experiment more with my surfaces. I ended up using plastic wrap (after trying a silicone mat, aluminum foil and a cookie sheet).
This finished design is an alcohol ink monoprint flower (starting from a Cricut die cut), mounted on copper wire and embellished with a flashing leaf that has been embossed and inked.
When I have time (ha ha) I might make a whole garden of monoprint flowers!
Don't forget to stop by L3 to join this week's challenge before midnight July 4 or on July 5 for the fourth challenge in the series!
This is lovely, very creative. The teflon sheets that tim uses is pretty much the same as a silicon sheet that I read you tried. I have a SilPat baking sheet. but know way I am using that! too expensive.
ReplyDeleteWow, CB, you're just going gangbusters! New Design Team gig and still time to make TWO pieces for the Compendium Challenge! This is brilliant, by the way-- what a fabulous concept, and I think you SHOULD do an entire garden of these beauties!
