Winners and a quick background!

Hi friends! The van is cleaned up and packed for the Heirloom Stamp Show (good thing I end up driving because it motivates me to do a yearly vacuum LOL!) Before I go I wanted to congratulate the winner of the Steampunk Stamps…..Ginny! Since I realize there might be more than 1 Ginny (and I don’t have a last name) I have emailed you so check your inbox if you are a Ginny LOL! Also, the first 10 people who commented to win tickets during my flash giveaway have been emailed printable tickets so if you were in the top 10 and did not receive your ticket check your spam folder. It would be sent to whatever email address you use to comment on my blog. Make sure you stay tuned here all summer because I have a lot more giveaways coming up!

Today I filmed a few tutorials so I wouldn’t leave you in the lurch while I was gone and I couldn’t bear to toss the pretty Dr. PH Martin Radiance watercolors leftover in my palette so I made a background:

It is a great way to use up that paint and get ready for another piece of art. The video is pretty raw but the technique is fun at least!

Here is what it looks like dry:

I plan on using pastels or watercolor crayons over this, what do you think? I hope to see some of you at the Heirloom stamp show this weekend (still a couple spots open in my second class!) and I am hoping to film a bit at the show, we will see as it is a mini vacation for me, I might not feel like working LOL! Can you call it work if it is this much fun? Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
