Mixed Media with Elegant Writer

A bit more playing with my Elegant Writer pen!

I used the same poppy image as in my earlier post (see here) but did a lot more mixed media and it turned out quite differently.

Again the focal panel was done by stamping with Vintage Photo ink, but this time I added the Elegant Writer directly to the flower and leaves and then moved the ink with a water brush.  I kept the leaves in the grey that comes out of the pen first but for the flower petals, I drew out the teal/pink shades from it. For the stems, buds, and text, I drew some of the Vintage Photo out with a wet brush.

I had some unknown grains of red brusho on my work surface and got a bit of that on the light area of the panel and since I wanted a slightly pinker colour to the poppy, I watered those grains of red brusho down and added some to the poppy.

Final touch on the focal panel - a vertical sentiment in brown Archival ink.

The background panel was created by using embossing paste through a stencil, letting it dry, and then spraying it with two shades of neutral coloured spray.

It's much less CAS than the poppy card on yesterday's post, and it has a real mixed media vintage look to it - I have to say I prefer the yesterday's poppy card.
