A Beautiful Journey!

I decided to experiment with Spectrum Noir Sparkle and Sheena Douglass Paint Fusion together.

First I created the back ground using the water-coloring technique with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens on Sheena's Mountboard shape.  After it dried I stamped 3 daisies and then painted them using the 'paint fusion' technique.  I was hoping that the blue background would bleed through into the white acrylic paint and it did!  I realize normally you don't want this, but I wanted to give the flowers some blue color and I'm pleased with the results.
