Metallic paint on black

I hope you all had wonderful family time over the holiday. Ours was a whirlwind of a weekend but I did manage to get started and made a few Christmas cards. Hope to add a few more today.

I finally found out where the new software sent my pictures. I have to move them manually to where I want them even though I told the software where to put them. No one ever listens to me! In a recent zoom we did painting with metallics on black watercolor c/s. Everyone's cards look so beautiful and here is one of the ones I made.

I used a Simon Says stamp and embossed it in gold. Then I used a very old set of metallic watercolors by Yasutomo. This is the first time I've used those paints and I do the love results I got. It is an inexpensive set of 21 colors I think I got at a craft store long ago. I splattered in gold and white paint.
I'll post the second one when I get it made into a card.

Well, to be Frank, I'd have to change my name.






Be kind to one another.

This is gorgeous, Brenda! This was such a fun technique and I'm so glad we got to do it together. Love these metallic colors and your splatters! I'm glad you have found your files. I find that software and IT people never listen well!

I'm glad you found out where all your photo's were going too. It seems like each time something new happens with technology, I struggle. No one listens to me either. lol Especially technology! This is gorgeous Brenda! I've been seeing all you guy's cards done like this and they are so striking! Love the stamp you used and I love the paints...oh the shimmer and shine, to die for! Hugs, Brenda
