Here's another painted card, using acrylics - I started with a sheet of cardstock that's been protecting my workspace for a few weeks, so it had a random coating of paint and ink already on it. The flower stamps are from an older set, which seems to have been discontinued... it was one of the first stamp sets HC came out with when they began coordinating stamp sets with Spellbinders dies! I am so proud of how things have developed for them, and how far they have come since then!! So amazing. I actually had this in my 'sell' pile, but not anymore... I love the big bold florals for mixed media work like this!
Acrylic paint mixed with water works a lot like a watercolor paint, and adds a soft touch to the bold colors. I splattered some watered down paint (beige) and added more dots with the end of my paintbrush.
